After the Philippines and Senegal lifted curbs on rice imports, India’s agri export promotion body Apeda has resumed registering export contracts for non-Basmati rice to both countries with immediate effect.
The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) said in a notice on Wednesday that it has resumed the issuance of Registration-Cum-Allocation Certificates (RCAC) for the export of non-Basmati rice to Senegal.
The move follows confirmation from the Indian Embassy in Dakar that Senegal has withdrawn its month-long restriction on rice imports. In November last year, Apeda had paused RCAC registrations after Senegal suspended the issuance of its rice import declarations (DIPA).
