India pushing rice exports to largest importer of world Philippines

NEW DELHI:  India is pushing rice exports to the world’s largest importer of the commodity — the Philippines — and to tap the opportunity, a large delegation of leading exporters will visit the Southeast Asian nation next month, an official said.

The Philippines is an important market for India in agricultural products exports.

In 2024, the Philippines imported agricultural goods worth about USD 20 billion, with key imports including semi-milled rice, wheat and meslin, oilcake, food preparations, and palm oil.PTI
