Answer
The government imposed restrictions on rice exports in 2023-24 due to the following geographical reasons:
Low Rainfall in August 2023 – A weak monsoon affected rice production, especially in major rice-growing regions, reducing overall yield.
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.
