The decision was taken to protect the interest of the local market, however, there are no plans to restrict the export of non-Basmati parboiled rice.
The decision to impose a 20 percent export duty on parboiled rice will make purchasing the commodity expensive for foreign buyers. thus limiting its overseas sales and at the same time boosting its domestic availability.
