Centre bans export of broken rice due to domestic demand

The Hindu  

The Centre has banned the export of broken rice, mostly used as animal feed and as a component for ethanol production, in view of the domestic demand and production scenario of rice. Justifying the reason to ban export, Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution Sudhanshu Pandey said here on Friday that the move would ensure adequate availability of broken rice for consumption by domestic poultry industry and for other animal feedstock; and to produce ethanol for successful implementation of Ethanol Blending Programme. “Poultry sector and animal husbandry farmers were impacted the most due to price hike of feed ingredients as about 60-65% inputs cost for poultry feed comes from broken rice and any increase in prices will be reflected in poultry products like milk, egg, meat etc,” he said. Mr. Pandey said the domestic prices of rice were also showing increasing trend and it might continue to increase due to low production forecast and 11% increase in export of non-basmati rice.
