Bilateral Trade Welfare Impacts of India's Export Ban of Non-Basmati Rice Using the Global Partial Equilibrium Simulation Model (GSIM).

India, the world's leading rice exporter, banned the export of non-Basmati white rice, accounting for 25% of its total exports (or 10% of the global rice trade). The ban aims to ensure availability to domestic Indian consumers and reduce domestic market prices, impacting global rice market accessibility, consumers, and producers across twelve regions. The study utilized the global simulation model (GSIM) to analyze the effects of trade restrictions on industries.
