India broke rules on sugar subsidies: Australia tells WTO
Australia has informed the World Trade Organization that India's annual subsidies to sugarcane producers have exceeded allowed limits. Australia said India's support for producers is supposed to be capped at 10% of the value of production, but it paid between 77.1% and 99.8% since 2011. India caused a "significant downturn" in world sugar prices and hurt Australian producers, it added.
