# Non-basmati exports may rebound as India attracts new customers - The HinduBusinessLine

> India's non-basmati rice exports, which fell about 40% in 2019-20 due to higher minimum support prices, are expected to recover this year on demand from new buyers Malaysia and the Philippines. A weaker rupee and firming prices are also seen supporting shipments.

## Why it matters

A rebound in Indian exports adds supply to global markets and weighs on Asian rice prices, though a weaker rupee and firmer prices limit the competitiveness gain. New buyers help offset the slump seen last year.
