किसान सुरक्षित, देश विकसित...

भारत-अमेरिका व्यापार समझौते में डेयरी, फल, सब्ज़ियाँ, मसाले और अन्य अनाजों को संरक्षित किया गया है।

इससे घरेलू किसानों के हित सुरक्षित होंगे, स्थानीय कृषि को इतने बड़े बाजार में preferential access से मजबूती मिलेगी और आत्मनिर्भर भारत की दिशा में एक और सशक्त कदम बढ़ेगा।

Great news for India and USA!

We have agreed on a framework for an Interim Trade Agreement between our two great nations. I thank President Trump for his personal commitment to robust ties between our countries.

This framework reflects the growing depth, trust and dynamism of our partnership. It strengthens ‘Make in India’ by opening new opportunities for India’s hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, StartUp innovators, fishermen and more. It will generate large-scale employment for women and youngsters.

India and the United States share a commitment to promoting innovation and this framework will further deepen investment and technology partnerships between us.

This framework will also strengthen resilient and trusted supply chains and contribute to global growth. As India moves forward towards building a Viksit Bharat, we remain committed to building global partnerships that are future-oriented, empower our people and contribute to shared prosperity.

The landmark India-US trade deal reached by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and US President Donald Trump gives a major boost to Indian exports, with our labour-intensive sectors set for big gains.

With investments and collaboration in technology and innovation, this deal opens up new avenues and positions India as a trusted global manufacturing and innovation partner.

We urge you to amplify this big stride that India is taking on the road to economic growth with the 9th trade deal under Prime Minister Modi.

The India–EU Trade Deal is expected to deliver tangible gains for Indian farmers by providing preferential market access to key agricultural and processed food products, including tea, coffee, spices, fruits, vegetables and value-added foods. Improved access to the high-value EU market will enhance export competitiveness, support better price realisation and strengthen rural incomes.

At the same time, India has safeguarded sensitive sectors such as dairy, cereals, edible oils, fish and seafood, ensuring that export growth remains aligned with domestic food security and farmer welfare priorities.

The establishment of APEDA’s Patna Office heralds a new era for Bihar’s agrarian economy, offering farmers, producers and exporters direct access to registration, advisory services, market intelligence, assistance in certification, facilitation of export procedures, market facilitation, infrastructure development and international trade opportunities.

Until now, exporters from Bihar were reliant on APEDA’s Regional Office in Varanasi. The new Regional Office in Patna will offer direct support to FPOs, FPCs and exporters significantly reducing turnaround time for addressing exporter queries and strengthen coordination with state-level institutions.
