India's rice exports are expected to fall by up to 10% this year due to import restrictions. Bangladesh has imposed an import duty on rice to limit imports largely from India, and the EU has tightened pesticide quality norms.
Part of the lost volume may be offset by direct rice shipments to China later in the financial year.
Lower Indian rice export volumes loosen supply for other exporters and weigh on Asian rice prices, while the Bangladesh duty and EU limits reduce demand for Indian product.
