India imposed a 20% export duty on parboiled and certain milled rice varieties effective May 1, 2025. The government says the move aims to secure domestic food stocks and regulate rice trade amid inflation concerns.
The export duty makes Indian parboiled and milled rice less competitive abroad, which slightly supports other exporters' prices and reduces Indian supply to world markets.
