Indian Basmati rice exports rebounded 32% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017-18, driven by higher prices and volumes, according to ICRA. The agency expects total exports of 4.1 million tonnes, but warned that Iran's suspension of imports since August is a key risk.
Iran's absence as a major buyer could weigh on Basmati demand and export prices in the second half of the fiscal year, a bearish factor for rice.
