Webinar Title: India's Rice Stockpile Crisis: Navigating the 35 Million Tonne Policy and Price Dilemma
12th Dec 2025 | 4:00 Hrs | IST
About Webinar: The Central government is currently sitting on an unprecedented stockpile of nearly 35 million tonnes of rice and paddy from the previous season a stock three times higher than the official buffer norm. With the new Kharif crop hitting mandis across India, this unusually large inventory is creating a massive storage crunch, slowing down fresh procurement, and unsettling market prices.
Join us for webinar which dissects the complex dynamics driving this situation.
We will explore the policy choices that led to this surplus, the severe logistical challenges facing states, the potential for distress sales by farmers, and the imminent risk of a price crash if the government decides to liquidate old stocks. This session is crucial for traders, millers, policy makers, and anyone involved in the global rice trade.
Key Agenda:
- Excessive procurement and export curbs have pushed rice stocks to a record 35 MMT.
- Storage bottlenecks are choking Kharif arrivals and slowing procurement.
- Weak buying sentiment is heightening distress-sale risks for farmers.
- Stock liquidation could rapidly crash rice prices domestically and globally.
- Immediate policy action is crucial to stabilize supply, storage, and pricing.
