Export Ban On Broken Rice Goes: Is It Good For All?

ABP News  

India, one of the world’s largest rice producers, has long imposed strict regulations on the production and procurement of rice. In September 2022, the Government of India imposed an export ban on broken rice to ensure domestic availability. The government had said the ban was put in place as there was a steady rise in the export of broken rice in the preceding months, "which had put pressure on the domestic market". When the Centre imposed the ban on the export of broken rice in September 2022, it was stated that the decision would sustain production of ethanol, helping with the successful implementation of the Narendra Modi government’s Ethanol Blending Programme, which aims to reduce dependency on crude oil, relying heavily on grain-based ethanol. Sudhanshu Pandey, then secretary, Department of Food & Public Distribution in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and Food & Public Distribution, had specifically said the export policy of broken rice was amended to "ensure adequate availability of broken rice for consumption by domestic poultry industry and for other animal feedstock", besides for ethanol production.
