India’s Basmati Rice Yield Seen 5% to 10% Higher This Year on Strong Monsoon Support
India’s basmati rice crop is likely to post a 5% to 10% increase in yield this year, according to industry leader Rajeev Setia, who said timely monsoon rains and supportive rainfall patterns have improved growing conditions. The outlook points to a healthier harvest for one of India’s most valuable agricultural export categories, though final output will still depend on weather stability through the remainder of the season.
