In this episode of the Swapnil Karkare Podcast – Economic Insights on India, we delve into why agriculture holds vastly different meanings for India and the US, and how this fundamental disparity has hindered crucial trade talks. India’s half a billion farmers depend on agriculture for their survival, while America's farmers, though few in number, are highly efficient and economically powerful. We break down the massive disparities in farm sizes, subsidies, workforce participation, and political stakes behind the scenes. Discover the 8 key reasons India resists agricultural trade compromises, the impact of US farm subsidies and dumping, and how Trump’s farming voter base shapes American trade policy. Plus, the implications this has on future trade deals and global agriculture. No hype. Just the real economics and the path forward. 👉 Subscribe for more economics and finance insights. 👍 Like, share, and comment your thoughts below! #tradewars #agriculture #modi #trump #internationaltrade #trumptariffs #indiausrelations #politicaleconomy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱️ Time Stamps 00:46: Fundamental differences between India and US agriculture 02:49: Top 8 Reasons why India does not want to compromise its farmers 08:15: What is dumping?
