– In a move to foster international trade relationships and meet global demand, India has announced the allocation of export quotas for non-basmati white rice to Bhutan, Mauritius, and Singapore. The decision was officially communicated by the Indian government in a statement.
Under this allocation, India will permit the export of 79,000 metric tons of non-basmati white rice to Bhutan. Additionally, export quotas of 50,000 tons and 14,000 tons have been earmarked for Singapore and Mauritius, respectively.
This development follows a previous decision by India to impose a ban on the export of widely consumed non-basmati white rice last month. The ban was initiated after a similar restriction was placed on broken rice exports the previous year.
India’s move to allocate export quotas demonstrates its commitment to engaging in international trade partnerships while also maintaining a balance between domestic consumption and global demand. This decision holds the potential to positively impact the economies of Bhutan, Mauritius, and Singapore, as well as enhance diplomatic and trade relations among these nations.
As India navigates its role in the global trade landscape, such measures underscore the country’s efforts to effectively manage its agricultural resources and contribute to the stability and growth of the global food market.
