# India may review rice export ban in September if the rain gods smile

> India's government may review its rice export restrictions in September, after the kharif season ends and final production figures are available. June rainfall ended in deficit, but officials say the July-September monsoon will be decisive for output. The current curbs include a ban on non-basmati white rice exports since July 2023 and a 20% duty on parboiled rice.

## Why it matters

A possible easing of India's export ban would add exportable supply to a market that has been tight since 2023, which would weigh on global rice prices. The outcome depends on monsoon rainfall in July-September.
