India’s Rice Export: What Is in It for Farmers?

Author

  • Manish Kumar

Abstract

In a situation where the Indian farming community is already facing deficits and is unable to cover the cost of production, the recent export prices are an additional concern. Since an exporter of any country cannot alone change the world price, to make export profitable, even with a lower margin, the price squeeze is possible only in the backward linkages in general and from farmers in particular.
