It is seen from the above table that export price of basmati and non- basmati rice has fluctuated significantly year after year. The reason for fluctuation in average export price of rice is attributed to different quantity and quanlity of rice exported to different countries during different years. A particular country may import a particular quality/grade of rice in one year and the same country may import another quality/grade of rice during next or subsequent years. Thus, different quality and quantity of rice exported to different countries at different export price rate may probably be the reason for fluctuation of average export price of rice in India.
