India allows corn imports of 100,000 tonnes at reduced duty of 15%

04 Apr 2019 Evaluate

In order to tide over a shortage triggered by pest infestations and dry weather, India has allowed poultry producers and starch manufacturers to import up to 100,000 tonnes of corn at a reduced duty of 15%.

However, the crop must be free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). India, the world's seventh-biggest corn producer otherwise imposes a 60 percent import tax on the grain.

Stung by a sharp rise in local prices, poultry producers and starch manufacturers had asked the government to allow imports of half a million tonnes of corn at a reduced rate. Earlier, in 2016, India had allowed duty-free corn imports which totalled 181,000 tonnes.
