flag U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions are disrupting India’s basmati exports to Iran, causing delays, price drops, and payment risks.

flag Escalating tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran are disrupting India’s basmati rice exports, particularly shipments to Iran and transit through Bandar Abbas port, causing delays and payment risks. flag Exporters in Haryana, which supplies nearly 35% of India’s basmati exports, report a ₹4–5 per kg price drop. flag Iran, India’s second-largest basmati market, typically imports about one million tonnes annually, but instability and weakened purchasing power due to currency devaluation are reducing demand. flag The Indian Rice Exporters Federation advises avoiding new CIF contracts, favoring FOB terms to shift risks to buyers, and cautioning against unhedged orders amid rising fuel, freight, and insurance costs. flag Price volatility is expected, with basmati wholesale prices up 10–15% recently. flag The full impact depends on the conflict’s duration.
