Farmers demand India's exit from WTO, launch tractor protest
Mint Mumbai
|February 27, 2024
Farmers on Monday launched a nationwide tractor procession on highways to press their new demand for India to exit the World Trade Organization.
One of the main farmers’ unions, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), on Sunday announced it would observe ‘Quit WTO Day’ on 26 February, adding to the list of demands in the ongoing farmers’ agitation.
Farmers want the Union government to put pressure on developed countries at the WTO’s next meeting to keep agriculture out of the ambit of the intergovernmental body, peeved by its limits on crop price guarantees allowed for individual nations.
The WTO’s 13th ministerial conference is scheduled for 26-29 February at Abu Dhabi. Ministers from across the world will attend the meeting to review the WTO’s multilateral trading system as well as decide on the organisation’s agenda.

This year’s United Nations climate summit in Belém, Brazil, ended last week. Countries made promises on paper and avoided hard decisions.
