India, the world’s largest milk producer, is resisting U.S. pressure to open its dairy market in ongoing trade talks. Industry leaders like Amul’s Jayen Mehta warn against allowing cheap American dairy imports that could devastate 80 million small farmers across India. The U.S., under Donald Trump’s policy, has demanded lower tariffs — but Indian officials and farmers alike argue this will lead to market dumping and economic harm.
