Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Indian basmati rice is getting a premium of $20-30 (₹1,550-2,330) per tonne from countries in
the Middle East, as rumours spread that New Delhi may put a ban on the export of the
commodity to help cool local inflation.

Exporters have received communication from buyers to urgently ship the aromatic, long-grain
rice, trade sources said. A firm price trend in global markets has pushed up domestic basmati
prices by up to 15% in the last two weeks. The export price of basmati rice, which was $1,200
per tonne in November last year when the crop began arriving, cooled slightly but increased
again in the past two weeks to $1,350. Middle eastern buyers are paying the premium over
this price.

"We are suddenly witnessing a huge demand from the Middle East," said Gautam Miglani, a
rice exporter from Haryana. "The buyers are offering exporters a premium for urgent shipping
of the grain. Rumours are going around that the government might put an export ban on
basmati rice after it had banned wheat exports. This is fuelling the exports."

India had put curbs on wheat exports earlier this month to control the food grain's price, which
has been rising due to worries over global short supplies amid the Russia-Ukraine war. But
traders said there had been no indication of India banning rice exports.

"There has been no indication from the government on any such move. But buyers from the
Gulf countries are placing good volumes of orders to fill up their own pipeline."

India produces 8 million tonne (mt) of basmati rice during kharif. Last year, due to unseasonal
rains during the harvesting period, the rice got damaged in certain pockets. According to
industry estimates, the production of basmati rice last year was around 6.5-7 mt, falling short
of the usual output.

Saudi Arabia has emerged as the major buyer, followed by Iran, Iraq and other countries from
the region. India had exported 3.94 mt of basmati in FY22.

Miglani said apart from the rumours on a possible export ban, rising prices of basmati rice in
Pakistan had also prompted buyers from the Middle East to divert a portion of their offtake to
India.

The best variety of basmati rice in Pakistan is being sold at $1,450 per tonne, as compared to
India's price of $1,350.
