Export of broken rice on humanitarian grounds permitted only with government approval, quotas allocated pro rata to prior exporters. Exports of broken rice are prohibited except where the Government authorises shipments to meet another country's food security request; approved requests trigger a transparent quota allocation by online application. Eligible exporters are those who exported rice to the requesting country in the three years prior to prohibition. Allocation is pro rata to three year average exports or quantity applied for, subject to a minimum sea shipment threshold; unutilized quantities are reallocated pro rata. Applicants must apply online with three year export data, and exporters must submit a Landing Certificate within one month after completing exports.
