- RCEP would have demonstrated self-destructive for India’s dairy division.

- In any case, the US pulled back from the arrangement in Jan 2017.
India’s dairy Sector – A self-sufficient sector
- null

- At present, these organizations are compelled to purchase milk from Indian ranchers. The explanation is that the applied tax for dairy items in India is about 35%.
- The bound tax would have tumbled to zero if the RCEP had happened. It would have then been undeniably increasingly gainful for firms to import milk from New Zealand or Australia instead of getting it from Indian ranchers.
- The unit cost of milk generation is moderately low in nations like New Zealand as a result of broad brushing lands (which diminish feed costs), motorized activities and the benefits of economies of enormous scale creation, and the high efficiency of milch creatures

- India ought to guarantee that its worries are tended to in the event that it needs to join RCEP later on, by giving sufficient space to the India government to secure Indian ranchers.
