WTO members, including the US and UK, have raised questions about India’s $48 billion farm input subsidies for 2022-23, which have been attributed to inflation and rising fertilizer costs. India explained that these subsidies are mainly for power, irrigation, and fertilizers and that the information had been duly notified to the WTO. The US claimed that this amount is more than twice the value of all trade-distorting support notified by India in 2021-22.
