Pakistan continued to protest, India became the king, how are the Muslim countries stubborn?
After a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India has been dedicated to Pakistan. In this episode, India’s only land trade route with Pakistan ended in the attic, and Pakistan also decided to stop trade with India. In fact, Pakistan has always tried to enmity in different sectors against India. But in the world, Pakistan has to eat mouth. Now take the Indian basmati rice, and our dominance is maintained worldwide despite all Pakistan’s conspiracies. The five largest importers of Indian basmati are also Islamic countries.
From the European Union (EU) to Australia and New Zealand, he tried to destroy the Indian basmati rice business in Pakistan, but it didn’t work. Today, the situation is that India’s responsibility for the entire agricultural export of India has now increased to 24 percent. Even after Pakistan’s anti -Pakistan, the Indian basmati remains the ‘king’ of rice in the world. He dominated the international market.
Record export in Saudi Arabia
According to the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS), India earned Rs 208,393.60 crore from total agricultural exports in 2023-24, which is 23.21 per cent in Basmati Rice. According to DGCIS, India has earned a foreign currency of Rs 48389 crore in a single year with the export of Basmati Rice.
Indian basmati business is growing in Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia is the biggest example of this because we have earned Rs 10,391 crore a year by selling 10.98 lakh metric tonnes of basmati rice. On the other hand, Indian basmati rice has increased in Iraq. In the year 2023-24, India earned Rs 7,350 crore by selling 8,24,779 metric tonnes of basmati rice to Iraq, which was only 3,64,068 MT a year ago and only Rs 3,032 crore for us.
The Indian disciples were stolen
Pakistan is the biggest obstacle against India in the European Union (EU) to take the basmati rice GI tag. The bitter truth is that Pakistan Pusa Basmati -1121 and 1509 have beared a lot and cultivate them here. In 2009, the Government of India has admitted that Pakistan Pusa -1121, prepared by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), has increased. This is the longest rice in the world. Due to this specialty, it is placed on the Limca Book of Records.
India has told EU that Pakistan is illegally cultivating Indian basmati varieties. India has allocated evidence for the DNA test conducted in the European Lab, which has proven that Pakistan has illegally increased the basmati varieties in India.
Proposed to dismiss India
However, India and Pakistan are basmati rice producers in the world. In July 2018, India applied for the European Union for GI tag. The European Union has proposed that both India and Pakistan jointly demand the Basmati Rice GI tag. But the Indian government dismissed the proposal. India argues that Basmati Rice is a special product of India and the GI tag must be found only to India. Bazati markets such as the US, Australia, the Middle East, New Zealand and Europe have strict competition between India and Pakistan.
