With an aim to increase domestic availability, the government has banned the export of broken rice. Though, some exports will be allowed till September 15, including for where loading of broken rice on the ship has commenced before this ban order.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said ‘Export Policy of broken rice …is amended from ‘Free’ to ‘Prohibited’.’ This comes into effect from September 9, 2022. It added that Provisions under the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 regarding the transitional arrangement shall not be applicable to this.

Recently, the government had imposed a 20 per cent export duty on non-basmati rice except for parboiled rice to boost domestic supplies amid a fall in area under the paddy crop in the current Kharif season. An export duty of 20 per cent has been imposed on ‘rice in husk (paddy or rough)’ and ‘husked (brown) rice’.
