food grains production in India.
• The demand for Indian rice in Foreign countries is quite demandable

8. WHEN IT IS SUITABLE TO CULTIVATE RICE
• Rice is grown under a damp warm climate.
• For cultivation of rice the temperature should be minimum 20ºC to
37.7ºC.

12. Factors influencing the price of rice
WEATHER
• Role of weather in rice production is immense.
• Temperature, rainfall land soil moisture are the important parameters
that determine the crop condition.
• Further, natural calamities can also affect crops. Markets keep watch of
these developments.

13. MINIMUM SUPPORT RICE
Changes in the minimum support prices (MSP) by the government also
have immense impact on the price of rice.
SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT

place to store their stocks properly and safely at sea port, exporters have
to face lot of difficulties, besides, it adds additional expenditure to the
exporters.

21. ROLE OF RICE IN EXPORT EARNING
BASMATI RICE
Rice plays an important role in the export earnings of the country.
Export value realized from the export of Basmati rice during 1993-94 was
Rs. 1,061.26 crores and it declined during the subsequent two years.
During 1996-97, export earnings from Basmati rice was Rs. 1,247.64
crores, which increased during subsequent years and it was recorded Rs.
1,876.91 crores during 1998-99 and again declined during 1999-2000 and
reached maximum to Rs. 2,165.96 crores during 2000-01, but again
decreased to Rs. 1,839.08 crores during 2001-02.
Thus, there was a considerable fluctuation in the export earnings of
basmati rice during the last nine years, i.e., 1993-94 to 2001-02.

22. OTHER RICE
Other rice is next to Basmati rice, which is exported from India to many
countries in the world. The export value of other rice also contributes
considerable share in the export earnings of total agricultural products.
Export value realized from the export of other rice during 1993-94 was Rs.
225.46 crores and it increased during the subsequent years up to 2001-02.
During 1994-95 the export value of other rice was Rs. 340.47 crores and it
increased to Rs. 3,717.41 crores during 1995-96 but it decreased to Rs.
1,924.72 crores and Rs. 1,685.38 crores during 1996-97 and 1997-98.
However, the export earnings from the export of other rice during 1998-99
again increased to Rs. 4,403.85 crores, which was an all time high and
again declined to Rs. 1,345.58 crores, Rs. 777.26 crores and Rs. 1,324.36
crores during 1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2001-02 respectively.

23. •
EXPORT SUBSIDIES
Export subsidy reduction commitments have been made under the
Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) by
Colombia, Indonesia, Uruguay, the EC and the United States.
The actual use of export subsidies has fallen short of the aggregate
ceiling, although information is difficult to get even from the WTO.
Export subsidies have been used by India since mid-2001 to promote
exports of rice held by the government.
Food Corporation of India. According to the WTO, India is not eligible to
use export subsidies on rice, but the country claims that under the URAA
(Article 9-4) the country is exempt from commitments on export subsidies
for marketing, processing and transportation.
While this position is questionable, the country has to date not been
challenged on that account by other countries in the WTO.

24. RESTRICTION ON EXPORTS
The Commerce Ministry’s decision permitting export of up to 10 lakh
tones (lt) of rice to African countries through parastatals is subject to the
shipments containing a minimum 25 per cent broken content.
“The rice to be exported shall be with a minimum of 25 per cent of
broken”, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade’s (DGFT)
notification, dated May 6, has said.
“On the other hand, you have a condition of a minimum export price
(MEP) of $1,100 a tone below which no basmati rice can be shipped out.
And now, the same Commerce ministry is saying that you can export non-
basmati rice only if it has a minimum 25 per cent broken, which
corresponds to the most commonly consumed grades here”, said Mr. Vijay
Sethia, former President of the All-India Rice Exporters’
Association(AIREA).

25. EXPORT OF BASMATI RICE FROM INDIA
Basmati Rice, the leading aromatic fine quality rice in world
trade, fetches good export price in international market for its three
distinct quality feature: pleasant aroma, super fine grains and extreme
grain elongation.
Nearly two third of Basmati Rice produced in India is exported. India
accounts for about 70 percent of the world's basmati production. Each
year, India produces nearly 2.25 lakh tones of rice.
Almost1.25 lakh tone is consumed by India’s residents. The rest is left for
exports.
The countries were Basmati rice is exported include Saudi
Arabia, UAE, European Union
countries, USA, UK, Germany, Australia, Austria, Russia, Singapore, Iran, Ku
wait, Bahrain, Spain, Italy, France, Denmark and Norway.

26. Export of other rice from India
India is also exporting a substantial quantity of other rice to various
countries in the world.
However, the export of non-basmati rice has been fluctuating year to year
due to weather conditions affecting the production of non-basmati rice.
The export of other rice from India was on its peak during2004-05 and a
total quantity of 45.41 lakh metric tons was exported to different
countries in the world.
Again the export crossed to43.66 lakh metric tons during 2006-07, but
during subsequent years, the export of non-basmati rice again came down
significantly due to various reasons.
The countries where other Rice is exported include Saudi
Arabia, Bangladesh, Australia, Bahrain, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Korea, Sri-
Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, U.A.E., Malaysia, Qatar, Nepal, Indonesia, Som
alia, Singapore, etc.

27. conclusion
 India is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of
possessing tremendous diversity in rice varieties.
 There are different varieties of rice-depending on the
weather, soil, structure, characteristics and purposes.
 The “multi functionality” of agriculture in terms of
environmental, social and cultural concerns is being used to defend the
permanence of blue and green box payments.
 In developed countries where rice is a non-marginal crop, the
elimination of blue or green box support would considerably impair the
sector.

28.  Rice production sites are often the natural habitat of a wide variety
of birds and plants.
 Water management in rice lands ensures that the soil desalination
process essential to the maintenance of land fertility takes place.
Environmental concerns are consequently a frequently used weapon in
defense of the sector.
 Rice is a major food staple and a mainstay for the rural population and
their food security. It is mainly cultivated by small farmers in holdings of
less than 1 half.
