Trump's Dumping Claim: India's Rice Exports Under Renewed US Tariff Threat

  • Trump's dumping accusations and new tariff threats add pressure to India's rice exports, which already face a 53% US tariff.
  • India maintains a 25-26% share in US rice imports, remaining the second-largest exporter despite overall market growth.
  • India dominates specific US rice import niches, including basmati long-grain (88%), certified-organic (54.7%), and long-grain parboiled (31.2%).
  • India's rice export mix to the US has shifted, with long-grain non-basmati exports rising significantly while basmati exports declined.

Why It Matters: Trump's dumping charge threatens India's rice exports, raising trade tensions.
