India allows export of 75,000 tonnes of non-basmati white rice to UAE

Published:

On Monday, India announced its approval for the export of 75,000 metric tonnes of non-Basmati white rice to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In a notification, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said: “Export of 75,000 MT of non-Basmati white rice to the UAE is permitted through National Cooperative Exports Limited.”

In the fiscal year 2023, India recorded exports amounting to $2.2 billion for non-Basmati white rice, with Kenya, Madagascar, Benin, and the United Arab Emirates ranking among the primary destinations.

During July, India imposed a ban on the export of non-basmati white rice. However, export allowances will be granted on a case-by-case basis, considering permissions extended by the government to meet other countries’ food security requirements and in response to their governments’ requests.
