Biofuel battle: Why India is shielding its farmers in the face of US trade pressure
MUMBAI, Aug 3 — US President Donald Trump on Thursday slapped a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods after prolonged talks that got bogged down over access to India's labour-intensive agricultural sector, which New Delhi has pledged to protect. Why is India opposing the products the US is lobbying for? The United States is pressing India to open its markets to a wide range of American products, including dairy, poultry, corn, soybeans, rice, wheat, ethanol, fruits and nuts. While India is willing to provide greater access for US dry fruits and apples, it is holding back on corn, soybeans, wheat, and dairy products. A key reason for this resistance is that most US corn and soybeans are genetically modified (GM), and India does not permit the import of GM food crops. GM crops are widely perceived in India as harmful to human health and the environment, and several groups affiliated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are opposing their introduction. The commercial cultivation of a high-yielding GM mustard variety that India developed itself is currently not allowed due to an ongoing legal battle. Like GM crops, dairy is also a highly sensitive issue, as it provides a livelihood for millions of farmers, including many who are landless or smallholders. The dairy industry helps sustain farmers even during erratic monsoon seasons, which can cause significant fluctuations in crop production. In India, where a large proportion of the population is vegetarian, food choices are strongly influenced by cultural and dietary preferences. Indian consumers are particularly concerned that cattle in the US are often fed animal by-products — a practice that conflicts with Indian food habits. A farmer sprinkles fertiliser in a paddy field on the outskirts of Amritsar on July 5, 2025. — AFP pic Why are agricultural imports politically charged? India is self-sufficient in most farm goods, with the exception of vegetable oils. After liberalising cooking oil imports over three decades ago, the country now has to import nearly two-thirds of its supply to meet demand. India does not want to repeat this mistake with other basic foods, which account for nearly half of its consumer price index. Though agriculture makes up just 16 per cent of India's nearly US$3.9 trillion economy, it is the lifeblood for nearly half the country's 1.4 billion people. Four years ago, this powerful voting bloc forced Modi's government into a rare retreat on a set of controversial farm laws. Some in power fear a flood of cheaper US imports would bring down local prices and hand opposition parties an opportunity to sharpen its attack on the government. New Delhi is also worried that a trade deal with the US could also force it to open its agricultural sector to other countries.

The vast disparity in the scale of farming makes it difficult for Indian farmers to compete with their US counterparts. The average Indian farm is 1.08 hectares, compared to 187 hectares in the US For dairy farmers, the difference is even more dramatic — a small herd of two or three animals versus hundreds or more in the US Many Indian farmers also rely on traditional, unmechanised techniques, while American agriculture has developed into a highly efficient, tech-driven industry. Why is India hesitant to use US ethanol in its biofuel programme? One of India's key goals with its Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) programme is to reduce energy imports and support domestic farmers by using sugarcane and corn for biofuel production. Indian companies have invested heavily in new distilleries, and farmers have expanded corn cultivation to meet the rising demand. India recently achieved its ambitious target of a 20 per cent ethanol blend in petrol. With state assembly elections approaching in Bihar — a major corn-producing state in the east — allowing US ethanol imports would lower local corn prices. This would probably anger farmers and turn them against the BJP ahead of the election and also undermine the growing distillery sector. — Reuters

Drug price transparency kicks in at private clinics and pharmacies, full enforcement by January 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — The Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) are implementing the drug price display initiative at private health facilities and community pharmacies in stages starting August 1. According to a joint statement by both ministries, the initiative, which was implemented under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering (Price Marking of Medicines) Order 2025 [P.U.(A) 141/2025] under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, began on May 1. The statement said the educational enforcement approach was implemented in the first three months ending July 31. 'During the period, 842 facilities consisting of medical clinics, dental clinics and private hospitals as well as community pharmacies were inspected and the majority of them have implemented this initiative with 57 per cent of them complying with the requirements for satisfactory drug price display,' according to the statement. In this regard, enforcement will continue in stages from August 1 through educational approach inspections and advocacy for two months until September 30 and a reminder letter may be issued in the event of non-compliance. According to the statement, starting October 1, compounds would be issued for repeat offences before full enforcement on January 1, 2026. MOH and KPDN also took note of the judicial review action filed in the High Court by seven organisations representing medical and dental practitioners and one private medical practitioner regarding the validity of Order PU (A) 141/2025. 'However, until this statement is issued, there is no court order directing the suspension of the implementation or enforcement of this order. Therefore, Order P.U.(A) 141/2025 remains valid and in force,' according to the statement. MOH and KPDN also expressed their commitment to implement the initiative in an inclusive, phased and prudent manner to ensure that its benefits are enjoyed by consumers and contribute to increasing transparency, accountability and trust in the country's health system. — Bernama

Anwar: Madani govt pledges full support for farmers, breeders and fishermen, the backbone of Malaysia's food security
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — The Madani Government continues to prioritise the welfare of farmers, breeders and fishermen, with a focus on supporting, guiding and empowering them, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said the group was the backbone of the nation's food security and played a crucial role in ensuring the people's survival and the nation's food sovereignty. 'I emphasised the need for strong synergy between the Federal Government, state governments and relevant agencies in strategically focusing on the development of the modern agricultural sector and the blue economy for the people's wellbeing and environmental sustainability,' he said in a Facebook post today. Anwar also said the National Farmers, Breeders and Fishermen Day 2025 (HPPNK 2025) held a special place in his heart, having once helmed the Agriculture Ministry portfolio over four decades ago. 'That experience shaped a deep understanding of the hardship and resilience of farmers, breeders and fishermen who serve as the backbone of national food security,' he said. Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said under the 13th Malaysia Plan, the government would continue efforts to boost the productivity and competitiveness of the agrofood sector to drive rural development, generate national wealth and secure the future of the next generation. 'The Madani Government is committed to ensuring that every agricultural policy, programme and aid initiative is implemented comprehensively and effectively, supporting farmers, breeders and fishermen not only as economic contributors but as the backbone of the nation's strength over the past five decades,' he said. — Bernama
