India Considers Export Restrictions on Broken Rice Amid Rising Prices and Domestic Demand
India may reimpose export restrictions on 100% broken rice as international prices exceed USD 360 per tonne, driven by rising global demand and increased domestic use in ethanol production and poultry feed. The Indian Rice Exporters' Federation (IREF) highlighted growing competition between export markets and domestic industries amid rising wholesale prices and inflation. No new restrictions have been announced yet, but government intervention is possible to prioritize domestic needs, especially with upcoming state elections in 2027.
