Textiles exporters face fresh trade uncertainty amid Trump's latest announcements
NEW DELHI: US President 's latest tariff announcements have resulted in fresh uncertainty, with buyers expected to go slow on new orders. While textiles exporters seem to have got an advantage over Bangladesh, which has been slapped with 35% duty by Trump, industry is keeping close tabs on India's bilateral trade deal with the US as the American president has claimed the agreement with Vietnam allows him to impose a 20% tariff, although there may be product-specific concessions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In any case, the final word is not out on where tariffs settle in the coming weeks, with countries, including Bangladesh, once again rushing to Washington to rebalance the equations. "We need to watch how tariffs move. Buyers are a little confused at the moment," said V Elangovan, managing director of Tirupur-based SNQS International. What is adding to the complications is China. "Retailers have to fill their shelves. Last week, our merchandisers were in Shanghai, we could not compete because the Chinese were quoting better prices this year than last year. It is not clear how they can do so when the tariff for them is higher. We need more hand-holding from govt," he added. Govt and industry has been pushing for zero duty for garments and home textiles, where Indian products are competitive, although it is unlikely even if a trade deal is worked out as the Trump administration has refused to remove the 10% baseline tariff applicable on all countries. At 10%, Indian exporters are seen to be better off than rivals, provided subsidies are not doled out to Chinese manufacturers. In natural garments, where India has traditional strength, the cost disadvantage is relatively small, 3-4%. However, in synthetic garments, the gap widens to 10-11% due to higher production costs, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) said. "India, even with the existing reciprocal tariff rate (26% announced in April), will gain in export competitiveness vis-a-vis major garment exporting competing countries. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Besides, we are quite hopeful of India striking a favourable trade deal which will further improve the competitiveness of India's apparel exports in all important US market... even a moderate reduction in the reciprocal tariff to around 15% could significantly improve our competitiveness across both natural and synthetic garment categories, thereby opening infinite export possibilities for India amid shifting global sourcing trends," said AEPC CEO Mithileshwar Thakur. With current tariff levels - India at 26%, Vietnam at 20%, and Bangladesh at 35% - India is seen to be competitive against Bangladesh in natural garments but faces pressure in the synthetics segment. "It is looking good for us and a trade deal will help," said K M Subramani, president of Tirupur Exporters' Association. The big question is the ability of Indian garment makers to manufacture on a scale, especially given their reluctance to invest in capacity addition.

Govt's MSP for mangoes a rotten deal for growers
Bengaluru: Although well-intended, the govt's market intervention to rescue mango growers from a price crash has backfired, leaving thousands of farmers worse off. They have been forced to sell their produce at a fraction of the cost of cultivation and are still waiting for payment nearly two weeks after registering. While the scheme aimed to provide relief by procuring mangoes at a minimum support price (MSP), many farmers say the compensation is so low that it's compounding their losses rather than reducing them. "Not a single beneficiary has got money although it is 15 days since 6,000 farmers registered for the scheme," said Neelatur Chinnappa Reddy, president, Kolar Mango Growers' Association. "Crops are decaying with the govt taking its time. But the main issue is the low price the govt has fixed. It does not cover even 25% of production costs." You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Official data shows Karnataka had a bumper yield of 10 lakh tonnes of mangoes from 1.3 lakh hectares this season. That bounty — along with low exports — led to a market glut and a sharp price crash, especially in Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Bengaluru South, and Bengaluru Rural districts. To soften the blow, the state decided to infuse Rs 101 crore — 50% to be borne by the Centre — in the market and procure 2.5 lakh tonnes of mangoes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Drink 1 Cup Every Morning – See What Happens A Week Later! Health Watcher Undo The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) had pegged MSP at Rs 1,616 per quintal (or Rs 16.2/kg). But the state chose to offer just 25% of this — only if market prices dipped below that level — effectively capping the payout at Rs 4 per kg. Given that average cost of production stands at over Rs 12 per kg, the scheme is being slammed as inadequate and flawed. "MSP should be increased to Rs 12 to match production cost," said Reddy. "The cap of five acres should be increased to 10 and the cap on quantity of procurement should be increased from two tonnes per acre to four." Adding to farmers' woes is a delay in payments, as Karnataka State Mango Development and Marketing Corporation has not yet opened a direct benefit transfer (DBT) account. The finance department is yet to grant approval. Reddy said the growers' association has given the govt time till Wednesday to resolve issues. "Failing which, they will lay siege to Kolar deputy commissioner's office," he said. Farmers also allege that the scheme's eligibility rules exclude most of them. Of the nearly 95,000 mango growers in Karnataka, only 6,673 have been able to register, largely because most cultivate mixed crops like ragi or green gram along with mangoes — a practice disqualified under current rules. Agriculture minister N Cheluvarayaswamy acknowledged the procedural roadblocks and said he would take up the issue with chief minister Siddaramaiah. "Although MSP for mangoes is handled by the departments of cooperation and horticulture, the CM asked me to oversee it. I will bring these issues to his notice," said Cheluvarayaswamy. Kolar district minister Byrathi Suresh also promised quick action. "I will speak to finance officials to ensure approval to open a DBT account," he said.
