India's government is monitoring rice stocks as analysts say it could curb rice exports after banning wheat exports on May 13 and capping sugar exports from June 1. Inflation hit an 8-year high of 7.79% in April, with food inflation at 8.38%.
A rice export curb by the world's largest exporter would tighten global supply and lift Asian rice prices, with knock-on support for feed substitutes like corn and wheat.
