India has now restricted overseas sales of all non-basmati varieties, which account for about 80 per cent of its total rice shipments. Its share in the global rice trade is about 40 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asian rice prices soared to their highest in almost 15 years earlier this month, and could climb further, raising costs for importers such as the Philippines and some African nations. India\u2019s recent protectionist measures are in line with its aggressive efforts to cool local food prices ahead of a general election early next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this move, domestic prices will drop and that will help the government in controlling food inflation,\u201d said B.V. Krishna Rao, president of the Rice Exporters Association. \u201cBut, global prices will rise and buyers will have to absorb the increase. There will also be re-negotiations between buyers and sellers on some contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice is a food staple for about half of the world\u2019s population. India\u2019s curbs come at a time when food costs are still elevated because of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and as volatile weather across the world threaten supplies of grains and oilseeds. There are concerns India\u2019s move to ensure domestic food security will hit several poorer nations still struggling to recover from the Covid-led economic downturns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parboiled rice accounts for about one-third of India\u2019s total rice shipments. The nation has already banned exports of broken rice and non-basmati white rice, curbed shipments of wheat and sugar, and restricted stockpiling of some crops. India is also considering abolishing a 40 per cent import levy on wheat, and selling tomatoes, onions and grains from state reserves to improve local supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parboiling is a process that involves partial boiling of the paddy before milling to boost its nutritional values and change the texture of cooked rice. Some restaurants use parboiled rice because it is already clean and easy to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the duty on parboiled rice is effective August 25, exporters with valid letters of credit before the government order will be allowed to ship the grain, according to the notification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government levied a 20% export tax on parboiled rice with immediate effect There are concerns India\u2019s move to ensure domestic food security will hit several poorer nations still struggling to recover from the Covid-led economic downturns.
