Indian exporters expect the government could restrict exports of 100% broken white rice as domestic prices rise and demand from ethanol and poultry-feed industries grows. India’s 2026–27 rice crop is estimated at 146 million tonnes, down 8 million tonnes year on year, with drought, cyclone and unseasonal rain posing risks to production.
Export restrictions would reduce India’s broken-rice export availability, tightening international supply and supporting rice prices. Crop risks add to the potential for tighter supply, although exporters expect adequate domestic availability for ethanol producers.
