New Delhi, 29th July 2023: A notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on Friday, stated that the Indian government has restricted the export of de-oiled rice bran with immediate effect till November 30th.
“Export of de-oiled rice bran under ITC HS code 2306 and any other HS code is prohibited until November 30,” according to the DGFT notification.
De-oiled rice bran, which is used to make cattle feed, chicken feed, and fish feed, is a major export from India.
This comes just a week after the DGFT prohibited non-basmati white rice exports in order to keep local prices consistent ahead of the 2024 general election.
According to the statement, shipments of non-basmati white rice will be permitted if the Indian government allows permission to other nations to meet their food security needs and if their governments request it.
