Amid El Niño, the impacts of climate change, and the effect of the recent India non-basmati white rice export ban in the global rice market, experts on rice research and market trends shared their perspectives and insights in a webinar hosted by IRRI where data shows that, while the market has reacted to the export ban, it has not panicked.
