India starts exporting non-Basmati rice to China

[Theparadox]

The first consignment of 100 tonnes non-Basmati rice will leave for China from Nagpur on Friday.

The two countries signed an agreement for export of other rice varieties when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Qingdao in June this year.

“The consignment will be received by China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO), which is one of China's state-owned food processing holding companies. After concerted efforts of the Government of India, 19 rice mills and processing units have been registered for export of non-basmati rice from India to China,” Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Thursday.

The June agreement amended an existing photo-sanitary arrangement the two countries had agreed to in 2006 to include export of non-basmati varieties of rice from India. The Chinese had so far resisted India’s push of other varieties of rice to one of the world’s biggest markets.

The agreement calls for stricter regulation of India’s rice exports, and sets conditions such as pest-free processing and storage of the proposed exports.

India has been pushing for greater rice exports to Beijing in an attempt to bridge wide trade deficits with the country. India’s trade deficit with China now stands at $63 billion, up from $52 billion in 2016-2017.

More Importantly why did we let the chinese get away with putting tariffs on imports from India ?

Its only after the US china trade wars that china reduced tariffs on 8549 types of goods from India which is why we are able to export rice to china.

So if we want to thank someone, we need to Thank Trump for this.

Its shocking that the Modi govt. has done precious little to balance trade with china and boost exports to the US, despite the trade wars being in our favour.

Its one of the Major FAILS of the Modi govt. THe only consolation is that the CONgress govt. would have done much worse.

cheeni peeni pai pai.

Cheene is importing gold and copper minded in balochistan. I think they left the rice for the pakistanis so that they don't have to eat grass in the pursuit of the atum bum.

Factually cheene imports from pakistan has been declining year on year which makes perfect sense.

Meanwhile here is cheene export to pakistan,

Maybe iron brother is now iron sister ? certainly seems like someone is bending over.

Maybe he just hates Kafirs. Gift him a camel or a goat to make peace.

Under Congress did the Indian Rupee fall below the 72 mark simply because Donald Trump made another bonehead comment on the news?

On topic, Indian rice is difficult to eat with chopsticks, because the grains do not stick to each other like East Asian rice does. It just falls apart everywhere. You have to use a ton of sauce or curry to make it have a more sticky consistency. It's not impossible, but the utensils aren't really optimal for it.

I hope you realize that the government has little control of the currency. That is up to the central bank. Anyway, the reason for the depreciation is largely outside of India's control. Many other Asian currencies have also been depreciating. The bright side of that the weaker ruppe has caused Indian exports to increase.
