Bihar’s export growth threatened by rising US import tariffs
Trump’s tariff hike on imports is impacting Bihar’s exports, risking a ₹250 crore annual loss. Key products like Makhana, Lychee, Turmeric, Bhagalpuri Silk, and Madhubani art may see demand drop by 30% in the US, especially Makhana, which is 80% of India’s total production. Experts say exporters are exploring new markets in Europe, Gulf, and Asia to offset losses.
