# Pakistan trade alleges India is subsidising rice exports, wants WTO petitioned - The HinduBusinessLine

> Pakistan rice exporters allege that India subsidises its rice exports and want the government to petition the WTO. They cite Indian offers around $360 per tonne against Pakistani quotes near $450, and a 14% decline in Pakistani shipments for July 2020 to May 2021. Indian exporters say Pakistan lacks a strong case.

## Why it matters

Lower Indian export offers are already pressuring global rice prices, and a WTO dispute could eventually affect Indian export policy. Pakistani shipment losses reduce competition for buyers, which keeps prices under pressure.
