Currently, the prices for raw long-grained rice from India are hovering around 340-350 dollars on a fob basis, which is much less than other countries, giving Indian exporters an edge in African and Southeast Asian markets. Lower costs drive exports in India over competitor countries In the last few months, Myanmar and Pakistan were dominating the market and the rice from these countries was the cheapest. However, as of today, the price of rice sourced from Myanmar has increased to 385 – 400 dollars on a fob basis. There was unrest in Myanmar after the army coup in Feb 2021 weakening the export potential of the country.

The industry is looking out for ways to become se

  The Agri-commodity and food sector in Iran is expected to grow significantly in the years to come. Iran is one of the largest economies in the Middle East and is characterized by a growing population and a rising income of the citizens. The country plays a large part in the consumption of  agri-commodities  in the region. There is a growing demand for food products and the production capacity of the country is often found struggling to meet the same. This growing demand for food is fueled by continuous growth in population, an increase in the middle class, and also an increase in urbanization. Recently, a decades-long nuclear-related sanction against Iran was lifted after the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on 16 January 2016, which has put the focus back on the agri-commodity market in the nation. The GDP of the country has grown by around 4 – 5 percent since the lifting of the sanctions. This trend is also expected to continue in the years to come.
