About Paddy/Rice — India's Primary Kharif Food Grain

Paddy (Oryza sativa) is India's largest food crop, feeding over a billion people. India produces approximately 130 million tonnes of rice annually and is the world's largest rice exporter. The Kharif crop (June–November) accounts for ~85% of production; the Rabi crop (winter rice) is grown in eastern India.

Major producing states: West Bengal (14%), Uttar Pradesh (13%), Punjab (12%), Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Bihar are the top producers. Punjab and Haryana supply most of the government procurement.

Varieties: Basmati (premium long-grain, exported), Non-Basmati (common rice, domestic consumption), Sona Masuri, Ponni, MTU-1010. Paddy is sold at mandi as raw grain; milled rice retail prices are 30–50% higher. Government MSP for common paddy 2024-25 is ₹2,300/quintal.

Factors Affecting Rice Prices

Season & Monsoon
Rainfall affects crop yield and arrival volumes. Post-harvest season usually brings lower prices.
Supply & Demand
Higher arrivals push prices down; lower supply or festival demand drives prices up.
Transportation
Fuel prices and road conditions affect the cost of moving produce to mandis.
Export Demand
International demand, especially from neighbouring countries, significantly impacts wholesale rates.
