** Shares of rice exporters such as Kohinoor Foods
KOFO.NS , KRBL KRBL.NS , LT Foods LTOL.NS and Chaman Lal
Setia CLSE.NS climb between 3% and 7%
** India is expected to cut the floor price or minimum
export price (MEP) for basmati rice exports to $950 per metric
ton from $1,200 a metric ton set in August, Reuters reports
** A cut in floor price could boost trade in basmati rice
that was hit after India imposed the $1,200 a metric ton MEP
** If gains hold, KOFO, KRBL and CLSE will likely snap four
straight sessions of losses
