Q. ‘Cairns Group’, which is seen in the news, is associated with countries of which category?
Answer:
Agricultural Exporting
Notes: The Cairns Group is an interest group of 19 agricultural exporting countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil and Canada.
The mini-ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) follows India’s criticism of the Cairns Group for proposing to halve the overall agriculture domestic support entitlements by the end of 2034 and ambushing public stockholding talks. The meeting aims to provide clear political guidance to overcome the stumbling blocks in the agriculture negotiations.
