DGFT allows Free Imports of Yellow Pea Imports for Bill of Lading issued on or before Dec 31, 2024, Without MIP or Port Restrictions

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced that yellow pea imports will be allowed freely for bills of lading issued on or before December 31, 2024, without minimum import price (MIP) or port restrictions. This decision is expected to ease supply chain constraints and lower the cost of imports. By removing these restrictions, the government aims to promote easier access to this staple product, especially in light of rising global food inflation. This policy relaxation is part of broader measures to manage food security while encouraging trade.
