India's agricultural exports are expected to stay flat at about $53 billion in FY24 despite a $4.5-5 billion hit from export curbs on wheat, non-basmati rice and sugar. Officials said basmati may face 15-20% higher prices if Red Sea routes force longer voyages.
Officials' expectation of a $4.5-5 billion hit confirms sustained export restrictions that tighten global wheat, rice and sugar supply, while longer basmati routes add freight cost.
