# The Dual Mandate of Food Exporting States: India’s Roles in the Global Food Order | RSIS

> An RSIS commentary argues that criticism of India's July 2023 non-basmati rice export ban should be balanced against its need to keep food affordable at home. It notes that August curbs on parboiled rice cover another 42% of India's milled rice exports, and that rice prices are rising toward 2007-2008 crisis levels.

## Why it matters

India's combined bans on non-basmati and parboiled rice remove a large share of world milled rice exports, which keeps global rice prices under upward pressure.
