Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the US were recently criticized for "rice hoarding" as they rushed to grocery stores to buy large quantities of rice, after India banned the export of non-basmati white rice.. India's Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution said the export ban was enforced to ensure adequate availability of non-basmati white rice and to allay the price rise in the domestic market.
