India is considering US demands for soybean and corn trade, but the requirement for a certification ensuring non-GM status poses a challenge.
The US government faces difficulties in segregating GM and non-GM crops due to prevalent GM varieties, making certification complicated.
India does not allow imports of GM products and requires non-GMO certification with a 1% tolerance level, aiming to prevent cross-contamination risks.
A negotiating team from India is set to resume talks for an India-US bilateral trade agreement, with discussions around potentially importing non-GM soybean and corn from the US.
