That is why most buyers are questioning the factors that actually drive the price of basmati rice.<\/p><p>Well, the answer is not as common as the supply and demand matrix. It depends on several other factors, including crop quality, crop yield, export regulations, customized packaging, freight costs, currency exchange rates, geopolitical stress, and global buying trends.
