The impact of India's rice export ban
What happens when the world鈥檚 biggest supplier stops exporting?
In an effort to insulate domestic prices, India has banned exports of non basmati white rice - its largest rice category.
We ask what the impact of this is on large importing countries.
A rice mill owner in Northern Nigeria tells us how the country is expanding its domestic rice production as a result of India鈥檚 curb, and we hear from a retailer in the UAE about the purchasing restriction it placed on customers as soon as the announcement was made.
We look at whether other countries can meet the shortfall of rice in global supply and what this could mean for global food security.
