India Lifts Ban On Export Of Non-Basmati White Rice

Kolkata: The Centre lifted the ban on the export of non-basmati white rice on Friday with immediate effect, according to a notification. In July 2023, the government imposed the ban to ensure the domestic supply of rice and keep prices under control. Exporters hailed the decision, dubbing it a “game-changer” for the sector. “India’s bold decision to lift restrictions on non-basmati white rice exports is a game-changer for the agricultural sector,” said Rice Villa CEO Suraj Agarwal.
