When India halted rice exports in 2023, Pakistan seized the opportunity by exporting 5.54 million tons of rice in just 11 months of FY25. Basmati shipments rose from 772,725 to 830,000 tons.

Even after India re-entered the market in September 2024 with heavy subsidies, Pakistan maintained its export volume. Prices dropped from $667 to $390 per ton, but Pakistan held its position and emerged as a reliable player in the global Basmati game.

Watch how Pakistan turned a global supply gap into an economic win.
