Trump tariff: India's basmati loss is Pak's gain
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|August 08, 2025
The 50% tariff US President Donald Trump slapped on Indian basmati rice exports could adversely affect Indian basmati rice exports, and Pakistan would be the gainer, increasing its market share in the US.
Currently, $1,200 is the average price per metric tonne. The new tariff would hike it to $1,800. On the other hand, the price in Pakistan, which enjoys a low tariff rate of 19 percent, would come to only $1,450, a difference of $350 per MT. The US Basmati market accounts for approximately 5 lakh metric tonnes (LMT). Of this, about 3 LMT worth $350 million comes from India and the rest from Pakistan.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
