To control the price of grains like rice, wheat and flour in the domestic market, the price of grains like rice, wheat and flour is constantly increasing even though the government has stopped exporting them. According to the Ministry of Food, the price of these food products has increased by 20 percent compared to last year due to heavy rains. Damage to rice crop due to rain: Basmati rice price increased further.
But due to heavy rains for the last few days, the price of rice, wheat and flour is expected to increase further, as a result people’s pockets may become more loose in the coming days. When heavy rains damage the crops of the farmers, the labor of the farmers is completely washed away.
This means that the crops grown by the farmer will be damaged by rain water. Similarly, due to continuous rains in some parts of the country for the past few days, the paddy crop grown by many farmers in the country has been completely ruined. As a result, it is predicted that the price of Basmati Rice may increase further.
Basmati rice exists as a premium rice in the food and restaurant industry worldwide due to its unique taste and properties. It has got GI tag in 95 districts of 7 states including Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Delhi, 30 in West Uttar Pradesh and 3 districts of Jammu and Kashmir (Jammu, Kathua and Samba). Such rice due to heavy rains at the end of September caused huge damage to the rice crop of the farmers. Due to this, 20% of the rice crop has been damaged.
Traders believe that in such a situation, the price of basmati rice may increase in the coming days. It will also have a direct impact on exports. Due to this rain, the quality of paddy has also declined. Farmers have to suffer a lot of financial loss due to heavy rains this time. Along with this, there has been a significant decline in paddy crops due to heavy rainfall across the country.

Besides, Basmati rice is grown in Meerut, Saharanpur, Agra, Aligarh, Moradabad, Bareilly districts of Western Uttar Pradesh.
