Rice Import Quotas

Rice import quotas are limits set by a government on the amount of rice that can be imported into the country during a specific period. These quotas are designed to protect local rice producers from foreign competition, maintain stable prices, and ensure food security. By controlling imports, governments aim to support domestic agriculture and prevent market disruptions. While beneficial for local farmers, quotas can lead to higher prices for consumers and may limit the variety of rice available in the market.
