# India may reintroduce broken rice export restrictions amid rising demand from ethanol producers

> Indian exporters discussed possible restrictions on 100% broken white rice exports with the government on November 4, as domestic prices and demand from ethanol producers and the feed industry increased. Indian broken-rice export prices were reported at $336 per tonne FOB on November 5, while limited government rice supplies and an expected production decline are adding pressure to the market.

## Why it matters

Restrictions would limit export availability, while ethanol and feed producers are competing with exporters for domestic supplies. Both forces could tighten the rice market and support prices.
