    The government has reduced the floor price for basmati rice exports to $950 per tonne from $1,200 per tonne amid concerns that higher prices were hurting outward shipments.  In FY23, India exported around 17.8 million tonnes of non-basmati rice and 4.6 million tonnes of basmati rice. Of the non-basmati rice exports, around 7.8-8 mt was parboiled rice.
