      year-on-year to $5.88 billion. Which of the following factors is NOT mentioned as a reason for this decline?
      A Red Sea crisis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Falling global maize prices Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rice export ban Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Increased tariffs in major markets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Decline in non-basmati rice exports Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The decline in agriculture exports in Q1 FY25 by 3% to $5.88 billion was attributed to several factors, including the Red Sea crisis, falling global maize prices, and a rice export ban. These factors primarily impacted the regulated items in the agriculture sector. Non-regulated items, on the other hand, saw an increase in exports. Specifically, exports of non-basmati rice fell by 13%, while basmati rice exports rose by 13%. However, increased tariffs in major markets were not mentioned as a reason for the decline. The Commerce and Industry Ministry is addressing non-tariff barriers in major markets, but this was not cited as a direct cause for the decline in exports.
