Apple farmers in Himachal plan protest on 22 April as they fear their problems will get drowned out in the election noise with Congress, BJP campaigns taking up national issues.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
The marketing of Himachal’s apples nationally is actually a success story. Not just the smaller towns, available even in larger villages in Maharashtra, for a generation. Not having proper refrigeration facilities is a great pity. Either a successful Amul style cooperative venture, or encouraging organised retail to source directly from the producing areas. Whoever planned demonetisation had no idea of how rural India’s economy works. The immense harm caused to farmers is all the more tragic since the entire sector has no income tax or nexus with black money.
