# India to export 1 million tonne of white rice to Indonesia | Business News

> India will export 1 million tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Indonesia annually for four years, through the National Cooperative Exports Limited. The deal follows a surge in Indian inventories after earlier restrictions and a robust harvest. Indonesia's 2024 output is estimated to fall 2.43%, which necessitates imports.

## Why it matters

A multi-year government-backed sale of 1 million tonnes adds a firm outlet for Indian surplus rice, supporting export demand but signalling ample global supply that is bearish for rice prices.
