India is the world’s biggest and Pakistan the fourth-largest exporters of rice to import-reliant Southeast Asian nations
The deepening conflict between India and Pakistan may threaten food security across Asia, officials and analysts have warned, with import-dependent countries raising concerns over rice supplies if the crisis disrupts trade and increases global commodity prices.
India launched air strikes and missiles at Pakistan on Wednesday following last month’s deadly attack on tourists in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir.
Pakistan retaliated early on Thursday morning, signalling that a dangerous escalation in hostilities may be ahead.
