Soybean At The Heart Of India-US Trade Logjam? Open Interest
The current India-US trade logjam was unfathomable a few months back. After all, India was one of the first countries to start trade negotiations with the United States after Donald Trump came back to White House for a second term. However, from the time the framework was established during US Vice President JD Vance's India visit in April to Trump imposing an additional 25% tariff on India for buying Russian crude, things seem to have slipped downhill. The India-US trade framework was aimed as a three-phase rollout. The first phase was goods trade, to be announced in July-August. The second phase was strategic trade to be announced around the QUAD Summit in India, around October-November, and third phase was more to do with digital and services. Currently, the first phase has fallen through. The main issue at hand is the import of genetically modified crops. A closer look shows that one particular crop, soybean is at the heart of this. India-US Trade: Quick Recap India was hoping for a 15% baseline tariff announcement but was shocked when US imposed 25% baseline tariff and subsequently slapped an additional 25% tariff on the pretext of New Delhi being a 'tariff king' and crude oil deals with Russia. India responded with a factcheck and showed that its tariffs are lower than or comparable to peers in the region. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi has said that India will not compromise on agriculture and dairy and will back its farmers even at the cost of personal relationship he enjoys with the US President. Ceasefire To Tariffs: How A Modi-Trump Call Post India-Pakistan Clash May Have Sparked A Rift Soybean Trade:US, China, Brazil & India A closer look at the agriculture trade issues between the US and India shows that the crux of the matter is the soybean crop, specifically genetically modified soybean. US is the second largest exporter of soybeans after Brazil. India, on the other hand, was a large importer. However, India's cumulative soybean imports from October 2024 to January 2025, fell sharply. US' soybean trade with China has also been hit. China, traditionally, had been one of the largest importers of the crop from the US but the recent tariff war between the two superpowers has hit US farmers, especially from Republican states, who were selling to Chinese markets. Take this into account US' export of soyabean in 2024 stood at $24.47 billion. Half of this went to China, which imported soybeans worth $12.64 billion. China has now started moving its soybean imports to Brazil, world's leading soybean exporter, and founding member of BRICS. Result? Trump has also levied a 50% tariff on Brazil. In 2024, Brazil exported $42.9 billion worth of soybeans, making it the second most exported product for the country. The main export destinations for these were China at $31.5 billion, according to data by The Observatory of Economic Complexity. This is even though soybean harvest in 2024 was lower as the crop was impacted. Brazil is expected to export around 105.5 million tonnes of soybeans in this season, putting pressure on the US farmers who could struggle to export their harvest. Where does India stand? India is the next largest market for US soybeans but is becoming less reliant. India imported $591 million in FY24, which fell to $89.15 million in FY25. Imports were largely from Brazil and Sudan. Domestically, the soybean season is from September to October. India's cumulative soyabean imports from October to January in the 2024-25 period dropped sharply to just 1,528 MT, compared to 117,357 MT during the same months in 2023-24. This was led by ample domestic production and supply, subdued domestic demand, and changes in trade policies and domestic pricing that have influenced import decisions. According to the second advance estimate for 2024-25, soybean production in India was projected at 151.32 lakh tonnes, marking an increase from 130.62 lakh tonnes in 202324. Maharashtra led the country in soybean production with an estimated output of 72.75 lakh tonnes. India ranks fourth globally for area under soybean cultivation with Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Telangana key states involved in soybean production all key farmer states. Deepinder Goyal's Recipe To Counter Trump Tariff Hike 'Become Unapologetic Superpower' India-US Agri Trade: Where Things Stand While India seems to have given some agri concession on import of apples and berries etc., coming mostly from Democratic states, it is reluctant to provide any concession on genetically modified soybean, corn and dairy products which come from MAGA-supported states in the US. India was willing to provide quota on dairy and a gradual scale-up but that did not hold water with Trump who wanted more. The issue: US soybean is genetically modified and will never be accepted in India and will not hold the legal test in the Supreme Court. India has had a long fight with GM seeds and that is the genesis for the current standoff. In other words, the soy, dairy lobby in the US is holding off the India-US trade deal. Currently, only GM cotton is permissible in India and higher yield has prompted research on food crops such as rice, brinjal, mustard and wheat. Mustard is still pending approval, and the heart of the GM seeds controversy stands at the sovereignty of the seeds and impact of the farming practices in India, which continues to be traditional in nature. The India-US trade deal is set for long drawn negotiation, and US will relent only if China and Russia play ball and that is where RIC: Russia India China trilateral comes into play. The trilateral has been inactive since 2012 and the Prime Ministers visit to China at the end of August and a trilateral meeting between the three leaders, Putin, Modi and Jinping, is closely watched and could pose a challenge for the US.

West Bengal tops list as over 2.7K kids awaiting adoption in country
NEW DELHI: As many as 2,768 children are currently awaiting adoption across the country, with West Bengal reporting the highest number of pendencies, followed by Uttar Pradesh, government data shows. Despite the Adoption Regulation, 2022 stipulating timelines for authorities and agencies regarding adoption matters, child adoption is taking longer as it involves different stakeholders, officials pointed out. According to data from Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), a nodal body for adoption of Indian children, which is mandated to monitor and regulate in-country and inter-country adoptions, West Bengal has the highest pendency with 352 adoption cases. It is followed by Uttar Pradesh (318), Odisha (262), Maharashtra (250), Telangana (201), Bihar (196), Delhi (176), and Madhya Pradesh (139). Officials said the referral and adoption of a child depends upon the preference made by the Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs) regarding age, health condition, and state of the child during online registration on the CARINGS portal and thus leads to inordinate delay on occasions. To avoid pendency, the Centre has notified the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (as amended in 2021), which empowers the District Magistrate to effectively coordinate and monitor the functions of agencies responsible for implementation of the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act which include adoption-related matters. The functionaries of States and Union Territories implement the JJ Act through institutions like State Adoption Resource Agencies, local Child Welfare Committees and District Child Protection Units (DCPUs), officials said, adding the entire adoption process is online and transparent through the CARINGS portal. Moreover, CARA regularly holds training sessions, including weekly virtual refresher programmes that are accessible nationwide to promote and facilitate adoption, they said. In financial year 2024-25, India was able to register a record 4,515 adoptions. Officials said this was the highest in the past 12 years. Out of the total adoptions in the period, 3,950 were domestic, while 565 were international adoptions.

BJP national spokesperson asks Rahul to resign on moral grounds if he has no faith in EC
NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi must resign on moral grounds from the membership of the Lok Sabha if he does not have faith in the Election Commission, and flayed him for not submitting a written declaration on his vote theft claim. BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia also asked Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and party MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to resign as members of the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha if they do not have faith in the polls. You (Rahul Gandhi) make baseless allegations before the media and then refuse to give proof and a written declaration when the constitutional body asks for it, Bhatia said at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here. Rahul Gandhi alleges large-scale electoral manipulation in Maharashtra and Karnataka; EC reacts Reading out excerpts of a past Supreme Court judgement, the BJP spokesperson said the apex court had observed that there was no doubt about the bona fides of the Election Commission and that it was a matter of record that the poll body had built a reputation as an impartial body over the years. Rahul Gandhi, if you don't trust the election commission and the observations made by the Supreme Court, do one thing: first, you resign from the Lok Sabha membership. Priyanka Gandhi, you also resign. Sonia Gandhi, you also resign at least on moral grounds because you are raising questions on the same Election Commission, Bhatia said. Then, you go to the Supreme Court, the high court and people, he said. Bhatia also demanded that the chief ministers of Congress-ruled Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh must also resign, for their top leaders had no faith in the EC. Whatever suits you, you accept. Whatever is inconvenient, you reject and cast aspersions on the Election Commission. This will not work, Bhatia said. Gandhi on Friday asserted that he had taken the oath inside Parliament on the Constitution, as a response to the EC demanding an affidavit from him under oath over his vote chori claim. Addressing the Vote Adhikar Rally in Bengaluru, he also said the Karnataka government should probe the inclusion of fake voters in the state during the 2024 Lok Sabha election. The EC asks me to file an affidavit and give information under oath. I have taken oath inside Parliament, in front of the Constitution, on the Constitution, he said. Bhatia termed Gandhi's vote theft claim a lie, Rahul aka 'arajak tatva' (anarchic element) has now become Rahul aka 'vidhwansak' (destroyer). He wants to destroy the Constitution of India and Indian democracy. He also accused the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha of being immature and starting a war against constitutional institutions by threatening EC officials.

BJP slams Rahul Gandhi for alleging poll fraud, accuses him of attacking Election Commission
NEW DELHI: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, came under fire on Friday from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after he alleged poll fraud against the Election Commission of India (ECI) . BJP leaders accused him of tarnishing the image of a constitutional institution. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan referred to Gandhi as a bayan-bahadur (a person who is brave in making baseless statements) and accused him of carrying out a systematic and deliberate attack on the ECI as part of what he described as a wider conspiracy against Indias constitutional bodies and the Constitution itself. In a post on X, Pradhan stated, The ideologically hollow Congress party is systematically attacking constitutional institutions. It cannot be ruled out that there is a larger conspiracy against India's democracy and Constitution behind this calculated deceit. Pradhan further criticised the Congress and the Gandhi family, saying, The Election Commission is good when the Congress wins and is biased when it is defeated. Rahul Gandhi needs to understand that his family's victory is not the definition of democracy. He also invoked the Emergency period, describing it as a dark chapter in the familys political legacy. Amit Shah accuses Rahul Gandhi of shielding Bangladeshi infiltrators by opposing SIR in Bihar Echoing similar sentiments, former Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad called Gandhis allegations irresponsible, saying such conduct would only further alienate voters from the Congress party. The voters will continue to reject the Congress for such 'irresponsible and shameless' character and conduct, he said. Prasad accused Gandhi of crossing all boundaries of propriety by branding the Election Commission a fraud. Gandhi had alleged a large-scale and well-planned criminal fraud being carried out across the country by the Election Commission and the ruling party. Joining the criticism, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed Gandhi's claims as bogus, alleging he was relying on misinformation from an unnamed NGO. BJP MP and national spokesperson Sambit Patra also described Rahul Gandhi's remarks as selective outrage, pointing out that he did not raise concerns when the Congress secured victories in Telangana, Karnataka, and Himachal Pradesh. Neither the Congress filed any petition in the court challenging the 2024 Maharashtra poll results if it felt there was some irregularity nor did Gandhi respond to the Election Commission's request to visit its office and discuss the matter, Patra remarked. Rahul Gandhi slams EC for asking affidavit under oath, says he has taken oath in Parliament At a press briefing, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav also condemned Gandhis language, calling it unbecoming of the Leader of the Opposition. He noted that Gandhi had warned ECI officials of consequences for their alleged involvement in assisting the BJP. Quoting official data, Yadav said the number of voters in state assembly elections held in November last year rose by over 40 lakh compared to the Lok Sabha polls held earlier in the year, contrary to Gandhis claim of a one crore increase. Citing constituencies such as Madha, Mohol, Nagpur West and Nagpur Northwon by the Congress and its alliesYadav noted an increase in voter numbers. He likened Gandhis actions to someone cutting the branch one is sitting on and accused him of using arrogant and threatening language against the Election Commission. Taking a dig at Gandhis media briefing on Thursday, Yadav said, If the Congress leader has real objections to the polling process, then he should file an affidavit on oath to the EC. Yadav further accused Congress leaders, particularly Rahul Gandhi, of repeatedly and deliberately trying to peddle lies to tarnish the poll body following his poll losses.

Kerala posts 6.19% growth in FY25, slowest in South India, amid fiscal, external pressures
KOCHI: Call it a double whammy. Kerala recorded an economic growth rate of 6.19% in real terms in the 2024-25 fiscal, as per the revised estimates of the Union Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) for various states. The states latest Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth not only declined from 6.73% recorded a year ago in FY24, but it was also the lowest in South India. Significantly, Keralas GSDP for 2023-24 is an upward revision from 6.52% reported by the state economics and statistics department. Indias GDP growth rate was 6.3% in 2024-25. Among southern states, Tamil Nadu posted a robust 11.19% growth in 2024-25 and is the fastest growing state economy in the country. Andhra Pradesh (8.21%), Telangana (8.08%), Karnataka (7.37%) and Odisha (6.84%), were also ahead of Kerala As per MOSPI, Kerala GSDP for 2024-25 at current prices (nominal GSDP) grew by 9.97%, lower than the projected growth of 11.7% over 2023-24 in the budget early this year. The states nominal GSDP stood at Rs 12,48,533 crore against the budget projection of Rs 13,11,437 crore. Nominal GSDP refers to the total value of goods and services produced within a state, measured in the prices of the current year. This means the values are not adjusted for inflation and reflect the actual market prices prevalent during 2024-25. K Ravi Raman, expert member, Kerala State Planning Board, said the states long-term growth trajectory shows improvement its GSDP was only growing at 4.26% in 2014-15. This reflects economic resilience at national and state levels, he said. India recorded its highest-ever GST collection in 2024-25, with revenues nearly doubling compared to 2020-21, he said. Timely, targeted initiatives essential K J Joseph, director of Gulati Institute of Finance and Taxation (GIFT), Thiruvananthapuram, said the marginal decline in 2024-25 reflected a combination of domestic fiscal constraints and external economic pressures. The tightening of borrowing limits imposed by the Union government significantly reduced Keralas fiscal flexibility, resulting in a cutback in capital expenditure, which is crucial for stimulating growth. At the same time, productive sectors especially agriculture, and construction saw slower expansion in the previous fiscal compared to the national average, he said. Additionally, global economic uncertainties and disruptions in migration and labour markets in Gulf countries affected remittance flows and external demand. Given Keralas structural dependence on overseas incomes, such external shocks have a direct bearing on household consumption and economic activity, contributing to the moderated growth trajectory, said Joseph. Going forward, the stalemate in India-US tariff negotiations poses a serious challenge not just for the country but for Kerala economy too, reckoned Ravi Raman. The situation may disrupt production dynamics, reduce employment and ultimately lower GST collections, which are vital for both Union and state revenues. Kerala, which benefits significantly from exports such as marine products and IT services, stands particularly vulnerable. Unless we redraw international division of labour and reorient our trade strategies, we will have to face the consequences of stagnating exports, falling revenues and economic stress at the state level. Timely and targeted initiatives are essential to shield Keralas economy from these external shocks and to maintain sustainable growth, said the Planning Board member.
