From 27 August 2025, the US has imposed a 50% tariff on many Indian goods. This step was taken because India continues to buy Russian oil. Bihar's makhana (fox nut) business, which exports to the US, faces a big challenge. The Bihar Industries Association president said this tariff will reduce exports and hurt local farmers and traders. They fear job losses and lower income in Bihar's rural areas. The government is trying to support affected businesses. The tariff may affect other sectors too, but makhana growers in Bihar are worried about their future sales in America. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 21:54 IST; source: link)
