Posted in News |
NEW DELHI, JAN 28: OVERCOMING various constraints, Basmati exports this year are expected to touch a record 3 million tonnes.
Exports had to face setbacks in Saudi Arabia, Iran and the effects of Dubai financial crisis.
Exports up to December 2009 stood at 2.3 million tonnes and may easily go up even more, industry sources said.
In 2008-09, around 2.31 million tonnes were exported but a good portion of them was high-value non -Basmati variety.
