Indian basmati exporters say recent rains damaged only a small area of the Pusa-1509 variety and do not expect lower exports this year. Basmati exports in the year to date reached 4.05 million tonnes, up from 3.985 million a year earlier, supported by demand from West Asia.
Steady basmati export demand from West Asia keeps global rice trade firm. The rain damage is too small to tighten supply materially.
