Rice Stocks Adequate in Telangana, Says Indian Rice Exporters Federation

The Indian Rice Exporters Federation (IREF) has announced that the state of Telangana currently holds enough rice stocks to satisfy its internal consumption needs. The federation’s assessment comes after a review of warehouse data and procurement records across the state’s major rice belts. IREF officials said that the existing buffer will help stabilise prices and prevent shortages during the upcoming lean season. The statement also highlighted that the surplus could support future export initiatives, though no immediate export plans were disclosed. Stakeholders in the agricultural sector have welcomed the news, noting that adequate stocks are crucial for food security and farmer confidence.
