Indian rice companies stocks like KRBL, LT Foods, GRM Overseas are likely to remain in focus on Tuesday, December 9, after US President Donald Trump warned that he could impose additional tariffs on agricultural imports — particularly Indian rice and Canadian fertilisers.
The remarks were made at a White House event unveiling new assistance for U.S. farmers and come at a time of continued trade friction between Washington and New Delhi.
According to a Bloomberg report, Trump said he would address the issue, which he called the “dumping” of Indian rice into the U.S. He mentioned that low-cost imports from countries like India, Vietnam, and Thailand were damaging the ability of U.S. farmers to compete, especially in industries already struggling because of inflation and earlier trade measures.
The potential move by the US President is part of a wider response by the U.S. administration to address issues raised by American farmers, an important political group. With midterm elections approaching, the administration faces pressure to tackle increasing input costs and price uncertainties in agriculture, partly stemming from previous tariff policies.
