As explained by CEO of Indian company Adani Wilmar, Angshu Mallick, the official notification is not yet received, but exporters have already started getting requests from Iran, and some of them even began to sign contracts.

Recall that the government of Iran has imposed a ban on the supply of rice in the country July 25, 2016, saying then that the measure will operate until clarity of the domestic production of grain.

In the first half of the current financial year export of basmati rice from India to Iran amounted to $ 356 million.
