India's Exports to Iran Threatened by U.S. Sanctions and UAE Trade Suspension
India's exports to Iran, including rice, tea, and pharmaceuticals, face potential disruptions due to new U.S. sanctions and the UAE's suspension of trade with Tehran. Bilateral trade has already declined sharply from its 2018-19 peak of $17 billion, with current exports mainly humanitarian. Indian exporters are exploring alternative payment and shipping routes, such as Turkey, but anticipate higher freight and processing costs. The situation poses significant challenges, especially for northern India's basmati rice industry.
