Trade relief: India to gain from US tariff cuts on select agri items; officials say level playing field restored

India anticipates a modest benefit from the US lifting tariffs on agricultural products like tea, coffee, and spices. While this creates a more level playing field for Indian exporters, independent analyses suggest limited gains. Larger beneficiaries are expected to be from Latin America, Africa, and ASEAN, unless India enhances its production and export diversity.
