Rice Export

Rice constitutes bulk of the total foodgrain export basket. Thailand, USA and Vietnam dominate the international trade. Rice is freely exportable from the country without any quantity and price restrictions. Non-basmati rice is mainly exported to Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Phillipines and countries in sub- Sahara Africa. The major basmati rice export markets are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, UK and USA.

During current season the rice production is likely to happen 88.68 million tonnes , which will be 2.6 million tonnes more than that of last year. To cope with the import export need of the country we have to develop new rice varieties which are having high yielding potential.
