Hello Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

The Govt. of India recently imposed a ban on non-basmati rice export. This has resulted in increase in demand for Basmati rice in export markets. The realizations have also increased.

No wonder, major basmati rice listed stocks like LT Foods, Chaman Lal and KRBL have performed well.
