Minister Piyush Goyal mentioned the Group of Ministers will decide on lifting the ban on non-basmati rice exports, considering demand-supply and price. The Centre banned non-basmati white rice exports since July to boost domestic supply. The agriculture ministry estimates rice production at 136.7 million tonnes in 2023-24. Ministers make balanced decisions after assessing production, consumption, and prices.
