China has granted phytosanitary clearances to 14 Indian rice exporters, including LT Foods and KRBL, after years of non-tariff barriers. Indian officials and trade sources say this opens China, the world's largest rice consumer and importer, to Indian non-Basmati rice.
New access to China adds export demand for Indian rice, which could firm Asian rice export prices and reduce Pakistan's share of the Chinese non-Basmati trade.
