India's exports face a shortfall of about $4-5 billion this year after it clamped curbs on trade in wheat, rice and sugar, a source said. Red Sea attacks may also hit basmati shipments.
Indian export curbs remove significant supply from world wheat, rice and sugar markets, supporting global prices, while Red Sea disruption raises freight costs for basmati.
