# Indian rice export restrictions drag on as output falls 8%

> India's rice output is expected to fall this year for the first time in eight years, potentially by up to 8% below last year's record despite a larger planted area. Erratic monsoon rains and floods damaged crops. Traders fear the government will extend its rice export restrictions, which followed a July ban on non-basmati white rice exports.

## Why it matters

A drop in India's output, which accounts for a large share of world rice trade, combined with extended export curbs would tighten global supply and lift rice export prices. Importers in Asia and Africa would face higher costs.
