Govt Nod to Non-Basmati Rice Export By PSUs to Maldives |
|
New Delhi, Sep 23 (PTI) The government today allowed export of non-basmati rice to Maldives by public sector undertakings (PSUs) under food aid programme and bilateral trade agreement.
"Export of non-basmati rice under food aid programme is permitted freely by PSUs or by government organisations," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
The export of non-basmati rice under bilateral trade agreement between India and Maldives will be permitted, it added.
Earlier this month, the government had said all varieties of non-basmati rice have been made free for export out of privately held stocks.
The government had, however, said export of non-basmati rice would be stopped after it reaches two million tonnes. PTI RNK YB
