India is considering fresh restrictions on rice exports as domestic rice prices keep rising. Demand for broken rice from industrial users has reportedly increased sharply.

Renewed export curbs would remove supply from the global rice market at a time when Asian prices are already near two-year highs. Importers could face higher prices and scramble for alternative origins.
