<h1>India Lifts Export Ban on Broken Rice to Boost Shipments; Policy Amended from Prohibited to Free</h1> The Indian government has lifted the export ban on broken rice, which was imposed in September 2022, to boost shipments. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade announced the amendment of the export policy from prohibited to free. This decision follows exporters' requests due to increased inventories and comes after the removal of the minimum export price on non-basmati white rice. The ban was initially enacted due to supply chain disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Despite the ban, exports to certain countries were allowed. In recent years, India exported significant quantities of broken rice to various nations.
