India has allowed traders to ship out their non-basmati white rice cargoes sitting at ports due to a sudden ban on exports of the category, a government order said late on Tuesday.
Indian rice exporters have been receiving requests from buyers to advance shipments of basmati rice after New Delhi banned exports of non-basmati white rice to dampen local prices, industry officials told Reuters.
India is now likely to consider imposing restrictions on rice export in a bid to ensure adequate availability in the domestic market and prevent a rise in prices, sources said.
