China begins importing Indian rice for the first time in 30 years

Recently, Reuters reported that Indian officials have told them that China is importing Indian rice for the first time in 30 years due to supply constraints. Indian fragrant rice is slender in appearance and has a strong aroma; however, the cooked rice is dry, fluffy, low in viscosity, and hard in texture, and the texture of Indian fragrant rice has never been a favorite of the Chinese. India is the world’s largest exporter of rice. China is the largest importer of rice.
