India’s rice exporters urge the government to lift the ban on 100% broken rice exports as stocks reached a record 67.6 million tons, far exceeding the 7.6 million-ton target. Exporting would help reduce excess supply, support African nations with affordable grain, and aid Asian ethanol and animal feed producers. The ban, imposed in 2022, remains despite improved production. The Rice Exporters’ Association has requested policy changes, citing strong demand from China and Africa. India’s competitors—Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan, and Myanmar—continue to export, while India’s restrictions limit trade opportunities.
