EU to Curb Rice Imports from India, Asia

The European Union (EU) is planning to limit rice imports from countries like India, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

This is to protect their own rice farmers and millers.

The EU will use a special rule to control the amount of rice that can be imported.

If too much rice comes in, they will charge higher taxes on it.

This rule will start in 2027.

The EU says this is to keep their rice market stable.

Some people think this will make the market less fair and hurt rice exporters from other countries.

The EU is also forming a new group to help their rice farmers deal with trade issues.
