India’s rice exporters seek budget support to boost exports, sustainability, and farmer incomes.
The Indian Rice Exporters' Federation has urged the Union Finance Minister to include targeted fiscal and policy measures in the 2026 budget to strengthen India’s rice export sector and boost farmer incomes.
Highlighting the sector’s role in the economy, rural employment, and global food security, IREF cited challenges like groundwater depletion, high procurement costs, and market volatility.
The group called for incentives tied to sustainable farming practices, support for premium rice varieties, export credit interest subvention, freight and port facilitation, continued RoDTEP scheme support, and improved compliance systems for quality and traceability.
With India exporting 20.1 million tonnes of rice in FY2024-25 and holding about 40% of global trade, IREF emphasized that strategic budgetary support could enhance sustainability, competitiveness, and farmer welfare.
