# Centre extends TMA  to specified farm exports - The HinduBusinessLine

> The Indian government notified a Transport and Marketing Assistance scheme that reimburses international freight and marketing costs for specified agricultural exports. The scheme runs for exports made from March 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, and excludes items such as live animals, dairy, rice, wheat and garlic.

## Why it matters

Lower freight costs for Indian farm exports could modestly lift Indian shipments of covered products, slightly tightening supply in those niches. The effect on global grain and oilseed prices is likely small because major staples are excluded.
