China Imports Indian Rice For The First Time In Last Three Decades

Amid border disputes, China has started to import rice from India after its suppliers Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Vietnam tightened the imports. Reportedly, China’s traditional suppliers have limited their supplies and have raised the prices to $30 per tonne compared to India. Moreover, India has offered rice at highly discounted prices. Earlier, China has continuously avoided purchasing from India - the world's largest rice exporter - citing quality issues.
