Product Overview
Non-basmati rice is the volume backbone of India’s rice export business. India shipped a record 22 million metric tonnes of rice in FY 2024–25 valued at $12.95 billion — capturing 30.3% of the global market — with non-basmati accounting for 80% of total exports. Sadbhaavspice
In 2025, India’s non-basmati rice exports are estimated at 17.6 million metric tonnes valued at $10.2 billion — a 37% surge from 12.9 million tonnes in 2023–24 — fuelled by the September 2024 removal of white rice export restrictions and the October 2024 removal of the $490/mt minimum export price.

Non-basmati rice remains essential for mass consumption markets, food aid programs, and cost-sensitive regions. Atirah Exports
