India is open to greater market access for American farm and dairy products and lower duties on Harley-Davidson Inc. motorcycles as it seeks to conclude a trade deal with the U.S. in time for President Trump’s scheduled visit next week, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
New Delhi is willing to allow market access for U.S.-produced cranberries, blueberries, pecan nuts, and avocados at lower duties. Also on the cards is allowing some imports of dried distilled grains soluble.
