India permits white rice exports to Singapore, Bhutan, Mauritius.
Aug 31, 2023

India on Wednesday allowed export of non-basmati white rice to Bhutan, Mauritius and Singapore, and allocated export quotas for the kitchen staple.
 
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade, in a notification, said that exports of 79,000 metric tons of non-basmati white rice would be allowed to Bhutan, 50,000 tons to Singapore and 14,000 tons to Mauritius.
 
'Export of non-Basmati white rice…to Bhutan, Mauritius and Singapore is notified,' the DGFT said in a notification.
 
Last month, India prohibited the export of non-basmati white rice but said that exports will be allowed on the basis of permission granted by the government to other countries to meet their food security needs and based on the request of their governments.
 
The exports have been permitted through National Cooperative Exports Limited.
 
India exported $2.2 billion of non-Basmati white rice in FY23 of which $87 million worth of the staple was shipped to Nepal and $38 million to Singapore.
