DGFT Sanctions 2,00,000 MTs Non-Basmati White Rice Export to Malaysia through NCEL

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has sanctioned the export of 200,000 metric tons of non-basmati white rice to Malaysia through the National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL). This decision comes amid rising global demand for rice and concerns over food security. The sanctioned export is part of India’s broader strategy to support its trade partners while managing domestic supply concerns. The DGFT’s move is significant as it reflects India’s commitment to fulfilling international trade obligations, particularly in the agriculture sector, while balancing domestic needs. This export is expected to strengthen bilateral trade relations between India and Malaysia.
