The Dollar Business Bureau  Good news for Indian rice exporters!

Bidhu Bhushan Palo | @TheDollarBiz There is good news for Indian rice exporters. According to industry estimates, India’s rice production is likely to reach (or at least remain) at record high levels of around 105 million tonnes again in 2014-15. This improves chances that India will retain its position as the world’s largest rice exporter, ahead of Thailand and Vietnam, for the third year in a row.

The Dollar Business Bureau | @TheDollarBiz Recovery in monsoons in India is likely to help rice production remain at high levels this year, says FAO   Despite poor rainfall, India is likely to remain the world’s largest rice exporter in 2014 for the third consecutive year, helped by large carryover stocks, according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). FAO says that India’s total paddy production this year may decline to around 157.5 million tonnes (about 102.3 million tonnes, milled rice equivalent), which is down about 1% from last year’s record 159.4 million tonnes due to below-average monsoon rains over main rice producing regions. However, rice cultivation has improved after rainfall recovered since mid-July 2014. FAO adds that after the bumper ...
