The first shipment of American turkey departs for India

This week, the first shipment of U.S. turkey – which takes advantage of the agreed upon reduced tariff rate – departed for India, allowing American producers to access a critical global market.This announcement signifies the beginning of historic market access for United States poultry producers and reflects the elevated bilateral cooperation on trade achieved between the United States and India during the Biden-Harris Administration under United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai.In September 2023, the United States and India agreed to resolve the poultry dispute, which was their last outstanding dispute at the World Trade Organization.
