India has permitted exports of 2 lakh tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Malaysia, allowing for a limited amount of rice exports despite the ban on non-basmati white rice exports.
New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) The government has permitted exports of two lakh tonne of non-basmati white rice to Malaysia, through National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL).
