Trends and performances of non-basmati rice export from Tamil Nadu

Abstract

This study examines the trends, growth, and performance of non-basmati rice exports from Tamil Nadu, a key rice-producing state in India. With India being a leading exporter of non-basmati rice, Tamil Nadu ranks fourth in terms of export volume. The analysis covers a decade from 2010-11 to 2020-21, identifying factors influencing export performance, such as product quality, market information, and export facilitation. Despite fluctuations in export growth, Tamil Nadu has shown resilience, especially during 2020-21, supported by government policies and export promotion initiatives. The findings highlight the potential and challenges in enhancing non-basmati rice exports from the state.
