India Expands Rice Exports to Jordan and Turkey Amid Shifting Trade Routes
India's rice exports are expanding into new markets as shipments to Jordan have increased nearly eight-fold and basmati exports to Turkey have doubled. This shift reflects changing regional trade routes, including disruptions in Iran, and highlights the growing commercial importance of non-traditional markets. Experts at the Bharat International Rice Conference 2026 emphasize that emerging markets and distribution hubs like Jordan and Turkey could drive the next phase of global rice trade growth, projected to rise significantly by 2035.
