Broken rice in transit with certain conditions will be now allowed for exports till October 15, a new notification by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade said late on Tuesday.
The ban on exports assumes significance as it appeared that the overall sown area under paddy this Kharif season could be lower than that of last year.
The step has been taken in view of the extraordinary growth in exports and shortage of poultry feed and rice for ethanol production in the domestic market.
