Indian Government Allows Export of White Rice 100% Broken
08 MAR 2025 | SOURCE Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
In a significant policy shift, the Government of India has announced an important amendment to the export policy of broken rice. Effective immediately, this change was disclosed in a notification issued on March 7, 2025, by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
After nearly 30 months, India has lifted the ban on 100% broken rice exports. The export of broken rice, previously classified as "Prohibited," is now designated as "Free" under the Indian Trade Classification (Harmonized System) code. This amendment aims to enhance trade opportunities and support the agricultural sector by allowing the free exportation of broken rice.
This decision is expected to provide considerable benefits to both exporters and the overall economy, offering greater flexibility in the international market for rice products. By liberalizing the export regulations, the government seeks to bolster India’s position in the global rice trade landscape.
