Basmati export down due to shortage of cargo containers

“The demand for basmati rice increases during April - June in the Middle East countries due to Ramadan. Generally, 4-4.5 lakh tonnes of basmati rice is exported monthly during this period. But now it has halved to 2 lakh tonnes due to non-availability of cargo containers,” Vinod Kaul, executive director of All India Rice Exporters Association, told ET.
