Questions submitted to the WTO agriculture committee challenge large farm-support programmes in the US and India. The EU asked how India will fund its planned farm-income spending and whether it will avoid excess production.
The US queried India's 5% export subsidy on non-basmati rice and its state wheat buying at rising prices.
Scrutiny of India's export subsidy and wheat procurement could eventually lead to changes in rice and wheat export incentives. Any reform would affect how much Indian supply reaches world markets.
