India poised to step up food exports to Philippines
The Philippines has agreed to remove restrictions on the import of Basmati rice. The move is expected to significantly boost India’s high-quality rice exports to the country. The Philippines aims to reduce dependence on Chinese products, enhance food security, and foster stronger Indo-Philippine economic relations. India exported agricultural products worth $ 413 million to the Philippines in 2024, which forms a mere 2 per cent of the Philippines’ total agricultural imports. The agreement would contribute to “improved food security,. economic expansion, and diversified trade” between the two nations.
The Philippines has agreed to remove restrictions on the import of Basmati rice. This move is expected to significantly boost India’s high-quality rice exports to the country and eventually lead to higher incomes for Indian farmers, a senior official said.
