Trump Warns India of New Tariffs over Rice Dumping Claims. What Does the Data Reveal?
Trump responded to farmers' claims of Indian rice dumping by threatening tariffs during a White House roundtable, with India holding a 30.3% share of global rice exports in 2024-2025.
- On Monday, US President Donald Trump warned he may impose new tariffs on Indian rice imports at a White House roundtable in Washington, DC, unveiling a $12 billion farm aid package.
- Farmers at the meeting pressed Trump to act, saying low-priced imports push domestic prices down, while Meryl Kennedy, CEO of Kennedy Rice Mill, urged tougher tariffs, citing a WTO case where US-led nations accused India of excessive farm support.
- Trade data show India exported basmati to the US worth $337.10 million and 274 metric units, while non-basmati shipments stood at 61,341 MT worth $54.6 million, Indian Rice Exporters Federation said.
- Market reaction was immediate as shares of KRBL and LT Foods fell up to seven per cent, while IREF warned higher tariffs would raise rice costs for US consumers.
- IREF emphasises that exports to the US are demand-driven and US-grown rice is not a like-for-like substitute for Indian basmati, while GTRI says the tariff threat appears electoral and would limit exporter harm.
