Around 4 million tons of basmati rice are exported from India to nations like Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the US. India's Export Policy For Basmati Rice India's Export Policy For Basmati Rice According to the sources, who wished to remain anonymous, India will reduce the basmati floor price to $850 per metric ton from $1,200 per ton in order to assist millers and traders in exporting the grade of rice. India set the floor price, or minimum export price (MEP), for shipments of basmati rice at $1,200 per metric ton last month. The MEP, according to the authorities, was put in place to assist New Delhi in preventing the export of non-basmati rice as basmati rice. India's Policy Change Reasons India's Policy Change Reasons After banning the export of broken rice the previous year, India shocked buyers in July by imposing a ban on the export of widely used non-basmati white rice. According to Prem Garg, president of the Indian Rice Exporters Federation, “the decision to lower the basmati MEP would help farmers who were losing money as a result of falling exports.” The action will also assist India in maintaining its leading position in the world basmati rice market.Since India does not consume a lot of basmati rice and the new season crop will begin to arrive in the market starting next month, Garg claimed that India would have experienced a glut of the higher grade. According to him, “a
