Exporters are now working towards regaining the lost ground,&#8221; said Atul Garg, managing director at GRM Overseas (GRMO.NS), a leading exporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India and Pakistan are the leading exporters of basmati rice. New Delhi exports more than 4 million metric tons of basmati &#8211; the premium long-grain variety famed for its aroma &#8211; to countries such as Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India is set to produce more basmati rice this year than the previous year as farmers have expanded their cultivation areas following record returns last year, said a dealer with a global trade house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, farmers were struggling to sell paddy because millers and traders stopped coming to key wholesale markets to make purchases, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now they will start buying paddy, which will help stabilize paddy prices that have corrected nearly 20% in the last two months,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India, the world&#8217;s biggest rice exporter, has also curbed exports of non-basmati rice varieties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwt9W43yc?sceid=PK:en&amp;sceid=PK:en&amp;sceid=PK:en&amp;r=0&amp;oc=1\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India cuts floor price for basmati rice exports to revive shipments NEW DELHI (Reuters) &#8211; India has cut the floor price for basmati rice exports to $950 per metric ton from $1,200, a government source told Reuters on Thursday after farmers and exporters complained it was damaging the trade by stalling shipments.
