The World Trade Organisation has ruled in favour of Australian canegrowers in a long running legal battle against Indian Sugar Subsidies.
Several other nations have lodged complaints against the now illegal subsidies on Indian exports, however the new restrictions means Australian canegrowers can now trade more successfully.
Chair of the Australian Canegrowers, Paul Schembri says the world sugar price has been below the cost of production for the past few years, leading enormous economic damage to the Australian sugar industry, and describes the new ruling as encouraging.
