abstract
The study examines the positive and significant growth in the area, production, productivity, export quantity, and export value of rice in India. For basmati rice exports, Iraq and Iran recorded the highest compound growth rates in both quantity and value, while the United Kingdom showed the lowest growth rate. Iraq and Iran were also identified as loyal importers of Indian basmati rice, retaining 89% and 84% of their previous market shares, respectively, as indicated by the diagonal transitional probability values. The study concludes that strengthening the growth and export performance of basmati rice is essential for formulating strategic policies to boost India's rice exports, given its significant role in the national economy and the challenges present in the international market.
