Australia body sees India chana import tax temporary

Farmers in Australia have been asked to continue with the sowing of chana, despite fears that India, the largest market for the commodity, may increase its import duty to 100%, as experts think the import hike might be temporary. India recently increased its import duty on chana to 60% from 40%. The tariffs were first imposed in December and raised further last month. Expects the tariffs to be revoked after general election in India in April next year.
