What happened
India holds about 40 per cent of the global rice export share and is recognized as a leader in global food security. Despite this strong position, logistics remain a major challenge for the industry. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea have impacted vessel movement, leading to increased shipping times, higher insurance costs, and multiplied freight charges.
