Question 6(d)

In the year 2023-24 the government has imposed restrictions on rice exports, according to news reports. As a student of geography give reasons to support government's decision. [Hint: low rainfall in August 2023]

Answer

The government imposed restrictions on rice exports in 2023-24 due to the following geographical reasons:

  1. Low Rainfall in August 2023 – A weak monsoon affected rice production, especially in major rice-growing regions, reducing overall yield.

  2. Uncertain Climate Conditions – Fluctuations in monsoon patterns raised concerns about future crop yields, making it necessary to secure available rice stocks.

These measures were taken to safeguard food availability in India.
