India will cut the floor price for basmati rice exports in the coming days, sources familiar with the matter said, after millers and traders complained about a sharp drop in overseas sales of the premium aromatic grain. India will lower the basmati floor price to $850 a metric ton, down from $1,200 a ton, to help millers and traders ship out the rice grade, said the sources, who didn't wish to be identified as they are not authorised to talk to media. Last month, India fixed the floor price, or the minimum export price (MEP), for basmati rice shipments at $1,200 a metric ton. Authorities said the MEP was imposed to help New Delhi ensure that non-basmati rice was not exported as basmati rice. In July, India surprised buyers by imposing a ban on the export of widely consumed non-basmati white rice, following a ban on broken rice exports last year. «The decision to lower the basmati MEP would help farmers who were losing money on account of falling exports,» said Prem Garg, president of the Indian Rice Exporters Federation. «The move will also help India retain its pre-eminent position in the global basmati rice market.» Since basmati rice is not widely consumed in India, and the new season crop will start arriving in the market from next month, India would have faced a glut of the superior grade, Garg said. «A large stockpile would have hammered prices and hurt farmers and India's rice sector, so the move to lower the MEP will be quite helpful,» he said. India and Pakistan exclusively grow premium, aromatic basmati rice.

Justin Trudeau's allegations have led to «greater danger» for Canada than India, former Pentagon official Michael Rubin said that if the United States has to choose between Ottawa and New Delhi, it will surely choose the latter as the relationship is «too important». He said that India is far more important strategically than Canada is and Ottawa picking up a fight with India is like «an ant picking up a fight against an elephant». While referring to the poor approval ratings of Justin Trudeau, Rubin added that he is not long for the premiership, and the US can rebuild the relationship after he is gone. «I suspect that the United States doesn't want to be painted a corner to choose between two friends.
