The government has approved exports of 14,184 tonnes of wheat grain, 5,326 tonnes of wheat flour, and 15,226 tonnes of maida to Bhutan during this period
The Indian government is offering exporters the opportunity to apply for a quota to export wheat, ‘atta’, and ‘maida’ to Bhutan in 2023-24. The allocation of this quota will be based on humanitarian and food security grounds, in accordance with requests made by Bhutan.
The government has approved exports of 14,184 tonnes of wheat grain, 5,326 tonnes of wheat flour, and 15,226 tonnes of maida to Bhutan during this period. Exporters are invited to apply for a quota, with a minimum threshold of 100 tonnes for land transport to the neighbouring country.
Applications will only be accepted for quantities greater than this minimum threshold. In addition, the DGFT has issued a notification prohibiting the export of de-oiled rice bran until November 30, 2023. This amendment to the export policy has been put in place with immediate effect.
