Continuing its attack based on a recent study conducted by Washington-based DTB Associates, US Industry accused India and China of providing export subsidies to their farms that are illegal under their WTO pledge.

In fact, India's wheat production increased by 35 per cent over those seven years (2005-06 to 2013-14) to record levels. That buoyed world wheat supplies and increased pressure on prices that hurt wheat farmers in other countries," It further alleged that India’s used faulty tactics in it’s recently notifications to the WTO. The study relied to base to these allegations further state that the governments of India, China, Turkey, Brazil and Thailand have over the past 10 years have dramatically increased trade distorting subsidies for wheat, corn or rice production exceeding their pledges under WTO agreements.
