The Indian Rice Exporters Federation told members to use maximum caution on contracts and delivery schedules for west Asian shipments after attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Indian rice exports to the region have fallen to about 70-80 tonnes a month, roughly 10% of pre-war levels, and war-risk insurance and freight costs are expected to rise.
Shipping risk in Hormuz is cutting Indian rice flows to the Gulf and raising freight and insurance costs, which lifts delivered prices for buyers in the region and adds to ocean freight pressure.
