Islamabad, September 19

Pakistan is facing another potential threat of major damage to its exports as India has applied for an exclusive Geographical Indications (GI) tag to Basmati rice in the European Union (EU).

Pakistan on the other hand is still yet to implement the GI law promulgated in March.

Despite the fact that Pakistan produces a wide range of Basmati rice in the country and benefits from its export to the EU and other parts of the globe, New Delhi has said that it is an Indian-origin product in its application, published on EU's official journal on September 11.

As per the Indian application, Basmati is special long grain aromatic rice grown and produced in a particular geographical region of the Indian sub-continent.

It added that this region is a part of northern India, below the foothills of the Himalayas forming part of the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP).

“The special characteristic of Basmati is grown and produced in all districts of the state of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand as well as in specific districts of western Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir,” the Indian application maintained.

Leading Pakistani rice exporters have called on the government to immediately oppose the Indian application.

“Indian application at EU must be opposed immediately as it would badly damage Pakistani exports to European countries,” said Taufiq Ahmed, a leading exporter and bearer of Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP).

“Despite repeated requests and reminders, concerned authorities in Pakistan have been ignoring this serious issue for years and now if the problem is not handled swiftly then we would be left with no option but to sell Basmati rice with an Indian name or brand,” he added.

Ahmed said that Pakistan must come in immediate consultation with international dictionaries to rectify the definition as the same rice is largely produced in the country.

“Apart from opposing the GI tag from the EU, Pakistan must also consult international dictionaries to rectify the definition. Unfortunately, India is also regarding Himalayan salt and Multani Mitti with Indian names in the international market,” he said.

The official sources from the Federal Ministry of Commerce said that the Indian application in the EU will definitely be opposed.

They added that since the GI law has been promulgated, Islamabad would take up the issue of all GI products of Pakistani origin with the EU.

“Basmati was already recognized as a product of both India and Pakistan in the European Rice Regime and its Duty-Free Regime, making it illegal for India to claim exclusive rights of Basmati in the EU,” said an official from the Intellectual Property Organisation (IPO), an attached department of the Ministry of Commerce.

“The Cambridge dictionary and Wikipedia also show the product as originating from Pakistan and India,” he added.

Pakistan enacted the Geographical Indications (Registration and Protection) Act in March this year, which gives it the right to oppose Indian application for registration of Basmati rice exclusive rights.

As per the EU’s official journal, any country can oppose the application for registration of a name pursuant to Article 50(2) (a) of Regulations (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs within three months from the date of publication.

Businessmen have urged the government to apply for geographical indication (GI) tag with the European Union for Pakistani basmati rice immediately citing that India has applied for the same.

They voiced fear that once the neighbouring country receives it, Pakistani exporters would not be allowed to sell the aromatic rice under the brand name of basmati.

India has applied for GI tag in European Union for basmati rice, confirmed a report in the EU official journal.

EU publishes the information on its website so that if a country intends to oppose the application, it can submit request within a specific time.

After a delay of almost two decades, Pakistan recently enacted the geographical indication (GI) law for registration and protection of brands, which is still awaiting implementation.

India claimed in the application that long grain basmati rice is grown and produced in districts of the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and a few districts of Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

However, the neighbouring country did not mention that the same rice is also grown in parts of Pakistan.

If India receives the GI tag, it would trigger a disastrous situation for Pakistani businessmen who would not be able to sell the same rice under the name of basmati.

"Pakistan exports 500,000 to 700,000 tonnes of basmati rice to various countries," said Cereal Association of Pakistan Chairman Muzammil Chappal. "Out of that, 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes is shipped to European countries."

Although the European Union gives Pakistan preference over India but still the country is unable to make the most out of it.

He added that around two to three years ago, the European countries slapped a ban on Indian basmati rice after the pesticide residue level on it was found to be way more than the allowed threshold.

Due to the high quality of Pakistani rice, the country often receives premium price in European markets, he said.

The European Union is a massive destination for local rice exporters and if India succeeds in receiving the GI tag, it would trigger huge trouble for local exporters, he said.

"It is a crucial issue for Pakistan but the government is still inactive," said Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (Unisame) President Zulfikar Thaver.

"We urge Adviser to the Prime Minister on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood to take immediate notice of India's move and motivate the country to apply for GI tag without loss of any more time," said Thaver.

Describing the procedure, he said the adviser and Commerce Secretary Muhammad Sauleh Faruqui need to push the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) to expedite the application for the basmati tag with EU.

"The EU market has vast opportunities and the basmati rice exporters cannot afford to lose it," he said. "Pakistani basmati rice is superior to Indian basmati."

Indian rice exporters increase considerations after Iran begins putting orders for basmati from Pakistan

September 17, 2020 - by John Show - Leave a Comment

 

Iran has began putting orders with Pakistan for basmati rice, elevating considerations of Indian basmati rice exporters who’ve stalled exports to the Gulf nation attributable to non-payment of their dues price Rs 1,700 crore. However, exporters see this merely as a brief blip.

“Yes, we have heard that Iran has placed some order with Pakistan recently. It is nothing unusual. However, Pakistan exports 6 lakh tonnes of basmati rice in the world markets whereas India’s exports stands at 4.4 – 4.5 millon tonnes,” stated Vinod Kaul, government director, All India Rice Exporters’ Association (AIREA).

Kaul stated that it’s a momentary phenomenon and as soon as Iran clears its dues, India will once more begin exporting to the nation. Iran accounts for 34% of India’s basmati exports to the abroad markets.

Kaul stated exporters are anxious about once they get their a refund.

“They are extremely worried. Also, if Pakistan gradually increases its presence in Iran, then may be in the long term, it may create some problems for Indian exporters,” he stated.

A Crisil examine has said that Iran, which imports round 1.three million tonne of basmati rice yearly, is predicted to register 20 per cent decrease quantity from India as payment-related points proceed from final fiscal due to US sanctions.

India and Iran have been discussing the barter buying and selling system for practically a yr now, ever because the Trump administration started imposing robust financial sanctions on Tehran. Iran has stated it would purchase basmati rice, sugar and medicines from India in lieu of fertilisers. A last determination is but to be taken.

Exports with Iran must be resumed quickly as basmati manufacturing is predicted to be greater this yr. In the final kharif season, India produced 7.5 million tonnes of basmati rice. “This year, the acreage has increased and we are expecting 8 million tonnes of rice,” stated AIREA’s Kaul.

Gurnam Arora, joint managing director, Kohinoor Foods stated Pakistan has been sending basmati rice to Iran by way of some convoluted enterprise route. “The payment was being made in cash. But with India, Iran has a transparent business model. The buyers may have placed some order with Pakistan to meet temporary demand. This will no way impact Indian exports going ahead.”

Arora added that Iran’s personal crop will begin coming by October after which the nation won’t require imported basmati. “Moreover, Indian basmati is superior than basmati from our neighbouring nation,” he added.http://www.marketnewsreports.us/710/indian-rice-exporters-increase-considerations-after-iran-begins-putting-orders-for-basmati-from-pakistan/
