There is still work to be done to open India\u2019s enormous market to American farmers, but this decision has the potential to restore great economic opportunity for them and our country. Agriculture has always been a vital part of Delaware's economy and today about 70 percent of our state\u2019s agricultural exports come from the poultry industry. In recent years we have been successful in addressing China and Mexico\u2019s trade barriers that kept Delmarva poultry out of those important markets and my hope is we\u2019re on our way to doing the same in India.\u201d\r\nThe ruling is the first step to reopening the Indian market to U.S. ag and poultry products. The WTO now must formally adopt the report, which starts the clock for India to comply with the ruling.\r\nMore information is available from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative here.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.carper.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=8bf65468-b8cc-4543-8953-72e495182581"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7319219876080751, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
