NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYARice Introduction Throughout history rice has been one of man's most important foods. Today, this unique grain helps sustain two- thirds of the world's population. Archeological evidence suggests that rice has been feeding mankind for more than 5,000 years. Today, agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy, providing direct employment to about 70% of working people in the country. It forms the basis of many premier industries of India, including the textile, jute, and sugar industries. Agriculture contributes about 31% to GDP; about 25% of India's exports are agricultural products. Rice Production area The major rice growing area in India are West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Maharashtra, Kannataka, Haryana, Gujarat, Kerala, Jammu- Kashmir, Tripura, Meghalaya, Manipur, Rajasthan, Nagaland, Arunanchal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Mirozam, Goa, Pondicherry, Sikkim, A & N Island and D & N Haveli. Growth promotional activities Rice is the agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy, providing direct employment to about 70% of working people in the country. It forms the basis of many premier industries of India, including the textile, jute, and sugar industries. Agriculture contributes about 31% to GDP; about 25% of India's exports are agricultural products. Through a combination of increasing the area under cultivation and increasing cropping intensity today India is self sufficient in rice. Adoption of modern varieties (MVs) rice production exceeded 100 million t annually since 1988. India regularly exports high quality basmati rice (aromatic). In India alone, basmati rice, non basmati rice exports are valued at (US) $800 million per annum. Over 80% of Basmati rice grown in India is produced for export. Types of Rice There are primarily four distinct types of rice: India accounts for more than 75 percent of global trade, Japonica rice that accounts for around 12 percent of global rice trade, Basmati rice accounts for around 10 percent of global trade and Glutinous rice accounts for most of the remainder. The main rice varieties grown in India are: Abhaya, Aditya, ADT 37, ADT 38, ADT 40, Ajaya, Ananda, APD 36, APHR-1, APHR2, AU 2, Avinash, Barkat, Basmati 217, BASMATI 370, BHADRA, BTP 5204, CHINA 988, CNRH-3, CO 45, CR 1016, CR 138 928, CTH 3, DRRH-1, FR 43 B, Gayatri, Gora types, Himalaya 741, Himdhan, HKR126, Huskalam, Intan, IR 22 / 36 / 28 / 34 / 42 / 50 / 62 / 64, Jagannath, Jaishree, Janki, JAYA, Jyothi, Jyoti, K 332, K 39 KALINGA 3, KANCHAN, KASTHURI=IET 8580, Kasturi, KAU 1531, Kaveri, KHITTISCH, KHP-2, KIRAN, KRH 1, Krishna Hamsa, KUNTI, Madhu, MAHSURI, Mahsuri white, NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA Manasarovar, MANGALA, MGR-1, MO 5, MTU 7029, MUKHI (CTH 1), Nagarjuna, NIDHI (IET9994), PANT DHAN 10 / 12 / 4 / 6, PAVIZHAM=MO 6, PHALGUNA, PR103 / 106, PRASANA, Pravana, PRH-1, Pusa basmati 1, PY3, RADHA, Rasi, Salivahana, SARJOO 52, Sasyasree, SUDHA, Suraksha, SUREKHA, SWARMA, Swarnadhan, SWARNAPRABAHA, TULSI, UDAYA, Vibhava and Vikramarya. Introduction Rice is one of the important cereal food crop of India. Rice contributes about 43% of total food grain production and 46% of total cereal production in the country. It continues to play vital role in the national exports. The percentage share of rice in total national export was 4.5% during 1998-99. The percentage share of agriculture export in total national export was 18.25, whereas the percentage share of rice export in total agriculture export was 24.62 during 1998-99. Thus, rice export contributes nearly 25% of total agriculture export from the country. Rice is also an important cereal food crops in South East Asia. Thailand, Vietnam, Mynammar, China and Japan are the important countries besides India growing rice. Among the exporting countries Thailand, Vietnam, India and Pakistan are the important countries exporting rice in sizeable quantity. Thailand ranks first in the export of rice in the world followed by Vietnam and India. However, India is likely set to be second largest rice exporter in the world during the current financial year. China and Indonesia are likely to boost their import of rice, which will facilitate to India to increase its rice export. Besides, the Govt. of India has also fixed high target of export of rice from India including broken rice. The Govt. of India has also fixed the export price of rice quite competitive in the international market. These measures are expected to contribute in boosting the export of rice from India. The Govt. has also created four zones in addition to earlier 28 zones to boost the export of agriculture products from the country, these new zones are • Apple zone in Himachal Pradesh • Mango zones in Andhra Pradesh • Flower zone in Tamil Nadu • Basmati rice export zone in Punjab. With the creation of these four new zones the export of agriculture products from the country have risen to 32 zones, which will cover the export of various agriculture products in the country. Therefore, the special emphasis is being laid down to strengthen these zones for increasing agricultural products including export of basmati rice from India. The basmati export zone has been set up in Punjab to tap the potential of basmati rice to increase its export in the international market. In fact Indian basmati rice is well NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA recognized in the international markets because of its quality. Keeping in view the export potential of basmati rice, the Govt. of India has launched aggressive export promotion policy to further develop the basmati rice by adoption of improved production technology including improved high yielding new seeds. The scheme for export of basmati zone will cover Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and Nawanshahar districts of Punjab. The estimated outlay of the scheme is Rs.23.3 crore, in which the centre's share would be Rs.11.85 crore, the share of State Govt. of Punjab would be Rs.1.85 crore. Balance amount Rs.9.6 crore will be met from private entrepreneurs. The aim of this programme is to increase export of basmati rice in particular and overall export of rice in general. It is, therefore, attempt has been made by the Directorate of Rice Development, Patna to analyse the problems and prospects of rice export from India and to bring out in a compiled form. By using the navigational links under Compiled Contents title, you can browse through information on various problems/constraints of rice export including basmati from India to various countries in the world, prospects of rice export including basmati rice, various strategies and suggestions to increase export of rice from India to earn more foreign exchange needed for the development of the country, and even find the list of rice exporters. RICE EXPORT SCENARIO India is one of the important countries in the world in export of rice. India's exports are expected to go up further during current financial year. Hence, Indian rice exports are set to reach second place in the world markets after Thailand edging out Vietnam in the process as per the report of the Food and Agricultural Organisation. Basmati Rice Background Rice export from India constitutes the major share of Basmati rice. Nearly twothird of Basmati rice produced in India is exported. Basmati rice is the leading aromatic fine quality rice of the world trade and it fetches good export price in the international markets. Infact, Basmati rice is a gift from "Mother Nature" to the Indian sub-continent and grows in the Indo-Gangatic plains only. The meaning of Basmati can be derived from "bas" which means aroma and "mati" meaning sense. Thus the word Basmati implies 'ingrained aroma'. So it is the aroma that gives basmati its novel characteristics unmatched by any other rice grain anywhere else in the world. Many scented varieties of rice have been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent from time immemorial but basmati distinguishes itself from all other aromatic rice due to its unique aromatic characteristics coupled with silky texture of its long grain.

South Africa. average export price of basmati rice was Rs.957 per quintal during 1994-95.465 per quintal. Basmati Rice It is seen from the average export price data given in Table-7 that the export price of Basmati Rice has fluctuated significantly year after year. Average export price again increased to Rs. The reason for fluctuation in average export price of Basmati rice is attributed to different quality and quantity of rice exported to different countries during different years.297 per quintal during 1995-96 over previous year price and increasing trend in average export price continued up to 1998-99. Average export price of basmati and non-basmati rice during 1992-93 to 2001-02 are given in Table-7.841 and Rs. total quantity of rice exported and its value realized in rupees have been taken separately for basmati and non-basmati rice and then the value of export divided by the quantity of rice exported to arrive at the average export price of rice per quintal year wise for basmati & non-basmati. Thus. which came down to Rs. 3.basmati rice separately. For the purpose of calculation. 2. During 1999-2000. the average export price per quintal of rice has been worked out year wise for the basmati and non. average export price of Basmati rice declined during the following three years as compared to 1998-99 average export price. Non-Basmati Rice .762 per quintal during 2001-02. different quality and quantity of rice exported to different countries at different export price rate may probably be the reason for fluctuation of average export price of Basmati rice. 2. which declined continuously year after year up to 1996-97 as compared to 1992-93. 2.013 per quintal during 1993-94 and the same has decreased to Rs. During 1992-93. A particular country may import one year a particular quality/grade of rice and the same country may import another quality/grade of rice during next or subsequent years. Average export price for basmati rice has been worked out to Rs. average export price has been worked out to Rs.543 per quintal during 2000-01 and it again went up to Rs. 2. However. Average export price thus worked out has been discussed in this chapter. which increased to Rs.140 per quintal during 1997-98 and 1998-99 respectively.

Besides. exporters do not find godown or proper place to store their stocks properly and safely at sea port. Thus. there are many domestic problems for rice exporters. of India to safeguard the interest of the growers. average export price increased to Rs. the exporters may find easy way to boost rice export and such measures will go a long way to sustain the exports. when they carry their stock to sea port and if the stock is not loaded due to some reason or the other.070 per quintal and Rs. During 1998-99. 864 per quintal during 2001-02 over previous five years. 1. These taxes are rendering the pricing of rice internationally in competitive.

Market Fees. 819 per quintal during 1995-96. duties are extremely low or duty free. which declined to Rs. 399 per quintal during 1993-94. PROBLEMS OF RICE EXPORT FROM INDIA India is facing stiff competition in the world markets for export of rice. besides. As per the state Govt. almost same trend of fluctuation in average export price is seen as in case of Basmati Rice. When paddy is converted to rice. . However. Indian rice becomes costlier in the international market as compared to other competing countries in the world and Indian rice exports get setback many times. There is lack of proper infrastructural facilities. 939 per quintal during 1997-98 over previous year. Rice production meant for export purpose is having subsidy in other countries. Some of the major problems are discussed in this chapter below: 1. which increased to Rs. Due to increase in the cost of inputs used for paddy cultivation the production cost goes up and the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy is enhanced every year by the govt. Average export price was worked to Rs. 3.NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA Average export price data given in Table-7 reveals that in case of Non-Basmati Rice. it adds additional expenditure to the exporters.basmati rice could be the same as discussed above in the case of Basmati Rice. The reason for fluctuation in average export price of non. Rural Development Fund. 759 per quintal during 1994-95 over previous year and increasing trend in average export price continued up to 2000-01 as compared to 1994-95. such as the states are imposing Purchase Tax (on indirect export).139 per quintal during subsequent two years of 1999-2000 and 2000-01. 968 per quintal during 1996-97 and slightly decreased to Rs. 684 per quintal for Non-Basmati Rice. various taxes are imposed on rice exports. average export price increased to Rs.009 per quintal over previous year and continued to increase in linear order to Rs. There was a sharp declined in average export price to Rs. If these internal problems are relaxed to the extent possible. Many times exporters. which reduces the cost of production and thereby reducing the cost of rice. During 1992-93. 1. policy. Hence. the export price of rice of such countries is more competitive in the international markets compared to Indian rice. This is one of the major reasons for poor quality of basmati rice. Vietnam and Pakistan because the cost of production in these competing countries is low as compared to the cost of production in India. Much of basmati rice export prospects have been lost in the recent part to other competing countries like Pakistan etc because of high prices. using good quality seed the loss can be converted into profit. Post harvest handling of produce is another important aspect. Rice mills have not been fully modernized to ensure high milling recovery and reduce the percentage of broken rice. in majority of basmati rice fields. The export is also suffering much due to the competition from other exporting countries like Thailand. However. Vietnam. because intensity of aroma in traditional basmati varieties is not so high as it used to be. 10.S.NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA Therefore. head rice obtained from milling of conventional mills becomes costly due to recovery of higher percentage of broken rice. Some times major markets/importers used to cut down their import due to their internal economic problems or good crop harvest and trade also cut down inventories and people reduce spending. The major rice producing nations have decreased the price to capture the international markets but Indian rice prices are inelastic due to relatively high cost of production and becomes uncompetitive in the international markets. 8. 5. particularly in the case of non-basmati rice. at the time of rice processing the grain size can be taken care of. grain size and maturity of the crop is found. 7. 11. PROSPECTS OF RICE EXPORT FROM INDIA As mentioned in the previous chapter that rice is exported from India to many countries in the world. 6. There was a considerable growth in the export of rice from India during the recent past. U. Infact.A. a variation in plant height. 9. In such situation both aroma and linear kernel elongation are affected. The conventional rice mills are having Rubber Roll Sheller in which percentage of broken rice is more than the modern rice mills that are having under Runner Sheller. but it is a waste. trade segment believes that Indian rice can face the global competition if subsidy is provided. basmati varieties are highly prone to lodging and lodging affects the natural grain development. In these days basmati rice is facing aroma problem. Infact. Infact exports depend not only on our ability to sell. conventional mills are required to be modernized to get recovery of higher percentage of head rice suitable for export. There are several factors responsible for this growth. Infact. Generally. Therefore. farmers are harvesting the crop at different moisture levels and keeping the produce at higher moisture level for a longer period will impair the intensity of aroma. In absence of genetically pure seed of basmati varieties. but also on the willingness of importers to buy. All these measures reduce imports during that particular year. Lack of proper arrangements for production of sufficient quantity of quality seeds needed for cultivation of rice for export purposes. and Pakistan. The prospects of export of basmati and non-basmati rice from India are discussed herewith : . India is facing stiff competition in the International markets from Thailand. taste. Commercially Taraori Basmati. Randhunipagal and Bhadshahbhog are grown in West Bengal.NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA Basmati Rice Awareness about basmati rice is spreading among different strata of the society in the country and abroad. these measures may help to boost the export of basmati rice from India. cooking. Infact. Because of its superfine quality. Vietnam and Pakistan because of their low cost of production. the harmonious combination of various factors deciding the appearance. traders and consumers. In the recent past export of non-basmati rice was fluctuating year after year due to various reasons. Katarni rice is grown in Bihar. Basmati rice is possessing unique grain. If desired aroma in basmati rice along with other quality characteristics are maintained. With the every coming year. each one of these varieties is fetching higher price in the local markets. Hence. export is also affected if . Even some of these are possessing more aroma than the typical basmati varieties. majority of people in the country and abroad have developed liking for basmati rice. Hence. The export of non-basmati rice was on its peak during 1995-96 it came down during 1998-99 due to many reasons. grown different states of the country. Under proper crop management condition farmers can get 4-6 tonnes paddy yield per hectare. Similarly Basamati-370 is preferred more over Basmati Type-3. keeping quality texture of cooked rice etc and makes the particular varieties unique/popular in the domestic and international markets. As mentioned above basmati rice is the most sought after rice in the domestic and international markets and it also fetches high premium. Non-Basmati Rice Non-basmati rice exports have also suffered much due to the competition from exporting countries like Thailand. eating and digestive qualities. Infact. This variety is much favoured by the farmers. basmati rice is most preferred and also meant for high premium value in the national and international markets. Pusa Basmati-1 is at present most profitable variety in rice. These varieties are having localized preference and their demand preference could not spread widely elsewhere. There are other sources of aromatic short grain varieties with similar starch content characteristics. It is also easily digestible. basmati rice is also stated to be 'Pearl' of rice. Pusa Basmati-1 has been well accepted by the trade and there is good prospects for export. pests and diseases. Thus. All these three varieties are similar in starch characteristics but based on grain dimensions Taraori Basmati is preferred much over Basamati-370. Sometime. During cooking it has got linear expansion. in spite of being highly susceptible to major insects. Basmati-370 and Basmati Type-3 are very popular. this variety is much preferred by the consumers in India and abroad. domestic as well as international demand for basmati rice is increasing. Export friendly trade policies may be adopted with improvement of infrastructure facilities for promoting export. 5. Sufficient export facilities may be made available to the exporters at Sea Port. Production of quality seeds and ensuring its availability to farmers at subsidized rates. 10. 8. Vietnam and Pakistan are the competitors for India in the export of rice. Breeding programme may be initiated to develop high yielding export quality rice both for basmati and non-basmati rice to enable the exporters to compete in the world's markets. This can be achieved if production is made keeping in view the demand of international markets by increased investment in Research and Development coupled with realistic export policy. Survey may be conducted to identify contiguous zones for cultivation of export quality rice. Indian rice exports are set to reach second place after Thailand. The following export policies may be taken in to account to sustain the export of rice in future: 1. supporting export policy. they reduce their import accordingly. edging out Vietnam as per report of Food & Agricultural Organisation (FAO). Quality of rice may be maintained keeping in view the requirements of the international markets. 6. Conventional rice mills may be modernized to ensure high milling recovery of head rice and effective availability of by. Intelligence wing may be set up to keep watch over the requirement of various rice importing countries so that Research & Development may be strengthened accordingly to produce quality rice for export purposes. If rice exporters made their sincere efforts with Govt. Thailand.products for better and profitable utilization both for industrial and feed purposes. Low cost production technology may be developed to reduce the cost of production and making Indian rice more competitive in the international markets. Vietnam was the world's second largest exporter of rice but currently the demand for Vietnamese rice has steeply declined in the international markets. Thailand is occupying first position in the international markets due to its better quality and low price. Therefore. 7. procurement and processing of basmati rice may be organized in a systematic manner for maintaining its quality for export purposes. There is also good scope for India to take advantage of the new trade policy for sustaining the export of rice. SUGGESTIONS FOR SUSTAINING RICE EXPORT . Production. 4. non-basmati rice export is expected to increase in future. 2. 3.NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA good harvest is there in the importing countries. 9. EXPORT PROMOTION POLICY India is facing stiff competition in the world markets for the export of rice. India is likely to be major exporters next to Thailand during 2003 and its influence on the global rice trade will be significant. 3. SL Basmati Rice Exporters 1.

There is a good scope for India to take advantage of the new trade opportunities for promoting the export of rice. 7.net. The following are few of the measures suggested to sustain the export of rice in future: 1. This can be achieved if production is made as per the requirements of international markets by increased investment in Research and Development coupled with export friendly trade policies. Survey may be conducted to identify export quality belts/zones for production of rice to meet the requirement of exports.NAMIT KUMAR DEHARIYA Rice export constitutes a considerable share in the national exports.
