# Senegal and West Africa Face Potential Indian Rice Export Restrictions

> The Indian government is considering restricting exports of 100% broken white rice, according to a Platts survey, though no decision has been announced. Indian broken rice prices rose 5.3% in October and early November, and S&P Global Energy expects India's 2026-27 rice output to fall 8 million tons partly due to El Niño. Senegal, which imported 399,057 tons from India in 2025, faces potential supply disruption.

## Why it matters

Possible Indian curbs on broken rice, a feed and ethanol input, would tighten global supply and lift prices, forcing West African importers to find replacement volumes at higher cost.
