Indian Non-Basmati Rice Shipments to EU Face Rising Rejections Over Pesticide Concerns

The rejection of Indian non-basmati rice shipments to the European Union (excluding the UK) due to pesticide residue concerns has seen a sharp rise from 3 cases in 2020 to 37 in 2024. In contrast, Pakistan’s non-basmati rice rejections have significantly declined from 54 in 2020 to just 2 in 2024, highlighting a growing challenge for Indian exporters.
