Coleman, Chief Agriculture and Fisheries Division Abstract This report describes and analyzes policies and other factors that affect U.S. agricultural exports to India. The findings suggest that India’s high agricultural tariffs are a significant impediment to U.S. agricultural exports and that certain Indian nontariff measures (NTMs), including sanitary and phyosanitary measures, substantially limit or effectively prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products. Agriculture is vital to India’s economy, accounting for a substantial share of employment (60 percent) and GDP (17 percent).

The experience of patenting in veterinary sciences is meagre due to the several reasons like limited birth of innovative technologies in comparison of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and agriculture, lack of self motivation and institutional support for filing the patents. Limitations of non-consideration of parameters like biological processes, methods and animals in whole or any part thereof is not eligible for patenting was also one of the important factor to refrained researchers and scientist in filing the patents related to veterinary science. Moreover, issues of protecting intellectual property (IP) in veterinary science should receive an urgent attention at national and international level particularly from developing countries like India.

AGMARK Grades and Standards
AGMARK Grades and Standards Dr. Ananta Saikia, Professor, Department of Horticulture, AAU, Jorhat 785013 In India, several Acts and Orders are in force for ensuring food quality and safety to the consumers. The concept of food quality assurance in India started with the enactment of Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937. This act streamlines the grading and marking of agricultural and other produce. The Act empowers the Central Government to make Rules for: a) fixing grade designations to indicate quality of any scheduled article. b) defining the quality indicated by every grade designation, and c) specifying grade designation marks to represent particular grade designation. As per provision in Section 3 of the Act, General Grading and Marking Rules, 1988 are notified in which the detailed procedures for grant of Certificate of Authorisation, setting up of laboratories, issue of Certificate of Agmark Grading, action on irregularities, consumer protection measures, etc. are given. As on date, 105 specific Commodity Grading & Marking Rules covering 197 commodities are notified which provide information on commodity specific requirements relating to hygienic aspects, packaging, labelling and grade standards based on quality parameters. Grade standards notified as per the provisions of the Act are popularly called AGMARK Standards. These standards differentiate between quality and 2-3 grades are prescribed for each commodity. Different grades are prescribed based on intrinsic quality of the agricultural commodities and various other parameters related to cleanliness, extraneous matter, active components, etc. Grades help farmers/traders to get prices for agricultural commodities commensurate with the quality produced by them. Consumers get the produce of the quality desired by them.
