Indian farmers seek government action to set tariffs on imported arecanut, alleging product code misuse.

A cooperative of arecanut and cocoa producers in India has asked the government to set minimum tariffs on imported arecanut to protect local farmers. The group claims that roasted arecanut is being imported under false product codes, avoiding proper tariffs and hurting domestic prices. They urge the government to strengthen regulations and prevent such misclassification to support local growers.
