Trump eyes new tariffs on Indian rice over dumping claims; experts unfazed

• Donald Trump indicated potential new tariffs on Indian rice, citing concerns from US farmers about alleged dumping.
• US farmers claim cheap imports from India, Vietnam, and Thailand make it difficult to compete in the market.
• Dr. Prem Garg, President of the Indian Rice Exports Federation, believes new tariffs won't significantly impact India's rice exports, especially Basmati, due to strong global demand and the US being a small market.
• India holds the largest global share in rice production at 28%.
