RESEARCH

Given the current global rice crisis arising from rice export bans, his letter (almost resembling a short article) entitled ‘Punjab Already Bears the Brunt of a Looming Global Rice Crisis’, was published in the prestigious ‘Financial Times’ on 20th November 2023. The article occupies a prime spot, featured prominently in the middle of the FT View page. This publication spans across the global editions, encompassing the UK, European, USA, Middle East, and Asian editions.

Raj was recently interviewed by ‘Radio Student’ of Slovenia (one of Europe’s oldest and strongest non-commercial radio stations). The topic was Global rice crisis-India’s rice export ban and its impact. The interview was broadcasted on 20 January 2024.
