Indian basmati rice exporters face uncertainty following severe flood damage to crops in Punjab and Haryana. Traditionally, about 75% of long-grain basmati is sourced from these states. Exporters may now turn to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, where reports suggest strong yields this season, offering potential relief to meet India’s export commitments in 2025-26.
