Last week, India agreed to reduce tariffs on certain U.S. products, including frozen turkey, frozen duck, fresh blueberries and cranberries, frozen blueberries and cranberries, dried blueberries and cranberries, as well as processed blueberries and cranberries. “While important progress has been made, significant tariff and non-tariff barriers to American agricultural products accessing the Indian market remain,” Mr. Vilsack said. The agreement will lower tariffs on frozen turkey products exports to India from 30% to 5%, she said. “For too long, high tariffs have prevented American turkey farmers from exporting their products to India,” Ms. Klobuchar said.
