Saudi Arabia's Indian rice imports fall 7%

Saudi Arabia's rice imports from India declined by 7% during the 2025–2026 season, reaching approximately 1.28 million tons, compared to 1.38 million tons in the previous season. The total market value of the imported Indian rice, which includes both Basmati and non-Basmati varieties, also decreased by 19%, amounting to around $1.07 billion, down from over $1.32 billion last year. Saudi Arabia aims to strengthen its trade relations with India, where more than 3,000 Indian companies operate within the kingdom, with investments exceeding $3 billion—comparable to Saudi investments in India. The bilateral trade volume between the two countries stands at $42 billion, including about $10 billion in Indian exports to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi market is particularly focused on Indian agricultural products, especially rice, through events like "Saudi Food," which provide opportunities for partnership and networking with new distributors. These efforts rely on extensive knowledge of the Saudi consumer market and significant potential for trade between the two nations.
