Indian rice export market trends
The Gulfood 2021 held between February 21-25 in Dubai did not garner much business for Indian basmati exporters as people stayed away in fear of coronavirus. However, South American buyers such as Peru and Argentina have recently granted market access to the Indian basmati rice, which will help the basmati rice trade to boost exports and get better prices.
Rice exporters, both basmati and non-basmati, are facing problems over rising transportation cost due to a hike in diesel price and a subdued demand in the Gulf region due to the second wave of coronavirus hitting the region. Basmati rice prices have fallen by 4-7% in last 10 days and exporters said transportation cost has increased by more than 20% to cart rice from Haryana to Mundra and Kandla ports.
