--Govt mandates registration with APEDA for non-basmati rice exports
NEW DELHI – The government has made the registration of export contracts mandatory for non-basmati rice. Exports have to be registered with the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority before shipments are allowed by the Customs Department, a government notification said.
"Export policy of non-basmati rice has been amended by incorporating an additional policy condition to the extent that export of non-basmati rice shall be permitted only upon registration of contracts with the APEDA," it said.
India lifted the ban on non-basmati white rice exports in September 2024, subject to a minimum export price of $490 per tonne, following better-than-expected rice harvests and rising stocks. The government had banned the export of non-basmati rice in July 2023 to ensure a stable domestic supply. End
