Important Data & Facts
- India–U.S. Rice Trade Share
• Only 3.3% of India’s rice exports go to the U.S.
→ U.S. is not a major market for Indian rice exports.
• 26.1% of U.S. rice imports come from India.
→ India is a major supplier for U.S. rice demand.
Impact Direction
• Tariffs would hurt the U.S. more than India because:
• India sends very little rice to the U.S. (3% of our export basket).
• But the U.S. depends heavily on Indian rice (over 1/4th of its rice imports).
