Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said that the trade agreement between India and the United States will benefit Indian farmers by opening up a large new market in America.

Speaking at the Maha Pasudhan Expo organised by the state animal husbandry department in Parli, Fadnavis dismissed claims that the deal would harm Indian agriculture. He said that a new American market has been made available for our country as a result of the trade deal but some people and parties are spreading misinformation.
