India notifies WTO of $56 billion farm support in 2010-11
The US, other WTO members have strongly criticised India for being almost a decade behind with notifications on farm support
Geneva: India spent $56.1 billion on support for farmers in 2010-2011, it said in a World Trade Organization filing on Wednesday, a document that will be pored over for evidence that it breached agreed limits on agricultural subsidies.
The United States and other WTO members have strongly criticised India for being almost a decade behind with notifications on farm support and for vetoing a landmark WTO agreement because it wanted more attention paid to its demand to be allowed to stockpile subsidise crops to ensure food security.
