Government has permitted to export 1,000 tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Namibia through National Cooperative Exports (NCEL). Though exports of non-basmati white rice have been banned since July 20, 2023, to boost domestic supply, exports are allowed on the basis of permission granted by the government to certain countries to meet their food security needs on request.

India's export of non-basmati white rice was $122.7 million in April-May and $852.53 million in the entire 2023-24. The country has earlier also allowed such exports to countries like Nepal, Cameroon, Cote D' Ivore, Guinea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Seychelles. 

NCEL is a multi-state cooperative society. It is jointly promoted by some of the leading cooperative societies in the country, namely Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), popularly known as AMUL, Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO), Krishak Bharati Cooperative (KRIBHCO), and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED).
