An explainer on India's agricultural export policy notes that India holds 2.4% of world agricultural exports and that exports fell 8% to $48.8 billion in 2023-24. It says the 2018 target of $60 billion by 2022 was missed and lists restrictions on sugar, non-basmati rice and wheat.
Export restrictions on rice, wheat and sugar limit Indian supply to world markets and keep global prices firmer than they would otherwise be. The piece is background on policy rather than a new market event.
