In MY 2012/13 exports are lowered 15 percent from 3.8 to 3.2 million tons due to the decrease in basmati production, strong competition from white rice exporting countries, and distortions in the export chain due to electricity and gas shortages. MY 2011/12 production is adjusted downwards to 6.2 million tons.
