India denies US allegations of underreporting MSP.

US submitted a counter notification last month stating that India’s MSP for wheat and rice exceeded allowable levels of trade as per WTO agreement on agricultural methodology. India has denied allegations of underreporting MSP on wheat and rice and restated that its methodology is consistent with WTO regulations. US got support from Australia, Canada, Ukraine, New Zealand, Paraguay and EU. Australia has asked India to resubmit its MSP calculations for all products, not just wheat and rice, based on value of production. Furthermore it has also asked India to provide information regarding bonuses and incentives provided by the state.
