Rice exporters in Kolkata have requested the Indian government to impose a flat export duty of USD 80 per tonne for parboiled rice, instead of the current 20% duty. The Indian Rice Exporters Federation (IREF) has also asked the government to reconsider the ban on white rice exports and reduce the minimum export price for basmati rice to USD 850 per tonne.
