India lifts export ban on broken rice, global prices may fall
New Delhi: The Indian government has lifted the export ban on broken rice, a decision that may lead to a drop in global rice prices.
The government has lifted the export ban on broken rice to promote its shipments. "Export policy of broken rice has been amended from prohibited to free with immediate effect," the notification by Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) read.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry mentioned in a notification that India would permit 100 percent export of broken rice, removing it from the restricted list. This decision comes after a bumper rice harvest in 2024, attributed to surplus rainfall, which led the government to relax the export restrictions.
Although there was an export ban in place, the government had permitted shipments to friendly and needy countries based on requests. India exported broken rice valued at $194.58 million to nations such as Gambia, Benin, Senegal, and Indonesia in 2023-24.
