US–India Trade Deal to Boost American Farm Exports, Says Secretary Brooke Rollins
06 February 2026, New Delhi: The new trade agreement between the United States and India is set to significantly expand exports of American agricultural products to India’s vast and fast-growing market, according to US Secretary Brooke Rollins.
In a post on social media, Rollins thanked the US President for “once again delivering for American farmers,” stating that the deal will help lift farmgate prices and inject fresh income into rural America. She described the agreement as a clear “America First” win for the US farm sector.
Highlighting the trade imbalance, Rollins noted that in 2024, America’s agricultural trade deficit with India stood at USD 1.3 billion. With India’s population continuing to grow and food demand rising, she said the country represents a crucial export destination for US agricultural commodities. The new agreement, she added, is expected to play a key role in narrowing this deficit.
The deal is part of a broader series of trade agreements aimed at strengthening market access for US farmers, boosting exports, and supporting rural economies. Rollins emphasized that expanding access to India’s market would not only support American producers but also reinforce the strategic trade relationship between the two countries.
