Exports of basmati rice from India to Iran may take a hit if geo-political tensions between Iran and Israel escalate after a series of a bomb attack taking place on Israeli nationals and Iranian citizens being suspected for plotting those terror attacks. Iran is an important market for Indian basmati rice exporters as out of the total exports of 2.2 million tonnes of premium variety of rice in last fiscal, around one million tonnes were shipped to Iran.
All India Rice Exporters Association President has cautioned that if tension escalates in West Asia, then exports of basmati rice and other items can get affected. And this would happen at a time when Indian traders are already facing payment problem for export to Iran as importers have defaulted on payments of more than Rs 1,000 core, owing to the sharp depreciation in Iranian currency in last few months.
Indian exporters have been selling basmati rice in dollars to Dubai-based Iranian traders, who then supply the grain to local traders in Iran.
