India, a major rice exporter, primarily exports Non-Basmati rice to developing and food-insecure countries. Chhattisgarh, known as the "Rice Bowl of India," is a key producer due to its rich soil, agroclimatic conditions, and strong procurement infrastructure. Despite its small export contribution, the trade dynamics of Chhattisgarh's non-Basmati rice changed significantly over the last decade. This study examines the trade dynamics of Non-Basmati rice exported from Chhattisgarh between 2012-13 and 2023-24, focusing on trends, important markets, and shifts in export destinations. Results showed a shift towards other African countries and emerging markets, with the " Mozambique" group becoming more prominent. The transitional probability matrix captured the fluidity of trade links between destinations, highlighting market dependence and the impact of international trade regulations, logistics, and pricing rivalry. To increase Chhattisgarh's competitiveness in international rice markets, the report emphasized the need for proactive market information, export infrastructure development, and strategic trade planning. These observations will be helpful to stakeholders, exporters, and legislators who want to encourage the sustainable export of Non-Basmati rice from the area.
