India's Rice Exports Rise to 26 Markets Amid Diversification Efforts Ahead of BIRC 2026
India's rice exports to 26 priority markets increased by 1.1% in value and 5.6% in volume from November 2025 to March 2026, reaching Rs 23,476 crore and 4.79 million tonnes. Eleven countries, including the UAE, Belgium, and Germany, showed significant growth. Despite challenges like pricing pressures and freight costs, India aims to diversify its export markets by promoting specific rice varieties through the Bharat International Rice Conference 2026, focusing on culinary applications rather than just volume.
