Meanwhile, news regarding military tensions along the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan has raised market concerns about potential trade disruptions. However, representatives from the rice industries of both countries quickly reassured the public.
Satish Goel, President of the All India Rice Exporters Association (AIREA), stated that the current political situation has not impacted rice exports. He affirmed that the recent increase in Basmati rice prices is primarily due to recovering international demand, not to a disruption in supply.
In fact, India has maintained stable exports, with approximately 6 million tons of Basmati rice in the 2024-2025 crop year. At the same time, Pakistan also recorded exports of around 1 million tons. Orders to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq remain steady, with no unusual fluctuations observed.
