India’s parboiled rice export duty : What is the impact?


Parboiled rice export is one of the cornerstones of the Indian rice industry, and Halder Venture Limited, a leading rice exporter in India, is at the forefront of bringing this nutritious food to the world. However, in the recent past, there has been a change of dynamics, where a 20% duty has been placed on parboiled rice exports. Now let us discuss the consequences of this change and how Halder Venture Limited is coping with it.


Halder Venture Limited’s Legacy of Quality with Parboiled Rice Export in India

Halder Venture Limited is one of the most recognized rice exporters in India that has been working hard to provide its consumers with the best quality rice. We offer a wide variety of parboiled rice options, including:

Superfine (6.1): Semi-long grain Indian parboiled rice from Eastern India. It becomes free-flowing and fluffy once cooked and is suitable for daily consumption.

Unique (5.5): Short-grain Indian parboiled rice from the middle-eastern part of India. On cooking, it takes on a fluffy texture and sweetish flavor, filling your heart with joy with every mouthful.

Golden Delight: Premium-quality, super-fine long-grain Indian parboiled rice, originating from West Bengal, India. With its extraordinarily large grain and calming aroma, this is the highest grade parboiled rice available, making it the ideal choice for your celebratory meals.

Bengal Blossom: Superfine high-quality, long-grain Indian parboiled rice from West Bengal, India. With a beautiful subtle aroma and hard texture, it is known for its pearly white color and high nutritional value.

Fiesta: One of the most popular premium categories of parboiled rice, from the Eastern region of India. Long grain rice with a powerhouse of energy and sweet taste that you can save for special days.


The Impact of the 20% Duty

The 20% duty on export poses a couple of challenges:

Reduced Competitiveness:

The increased cost associated with Indian parboiled rice diminishes its demand in the global market, potentially resulting in reduced export volumes.

Discouraged Exporters:

The reduced profit margins due to the duty might discourage exporters from participating altogether.


Parboiled rice goes beyond being a delicious staple food. Despite its challenges, parboiled rice remains highly regarded for its health benefits. Following are the parboiled rice benefits:

Enhanced Nutrition:

The parboiling process preserves more nutrients compared to white rice, making it a healthier choice.

Superior Texture:

Parboiled rice cooks up fluffy and separate, offering a delightful eating experience.

Longer Shelf Life:

Parboiled rice boasts better storage stability, reducing food waste.
