In August this year, the government had decided not to allow the export of basmati rice below the 1,200 per tonne US dollar rate, to restrict the illegal export of non-basmati white rice.&nbsp;<br />”<br />”The Ministry said, it has received representations from the Rice Exporter Associations that the high Free On Board (FOB) value is adversely affecting the export of basmati rice from the country.
