|May 23, 2025
INDIA'S EXPORT OF agricultural and processed food products have commenced on a brisk note in the current fiscal with the shipments rising by over 15% on-year to $2.13 billion in April 2025.
The rise in farm-sector shipments were driven primarily by a sharp increase in exports of rice, meat and fruits and vegetables last month.
The rice exports, including basmati and non-basmati varieties, rose by over 13% to $1.08 billion in April 2025 compared to previous year. In FY25, the rice exports were at a record $12.47 billion, an increase of over 20% compared to 2023-24.
"We anticipate rice exports to grow in the range of 10-15% in the current fiscal because of a possibility of a surge in global demand due geo-political reasons," Amit Goel, managing director, KNAM Foods, an exporter of basmati rice, told FE.
