India's government has made APEDA registration mandatory for exporters of non-basmati rice, according to a DGFT notification issued on Monday. Reports link the move to crop damage from flooding in Punjab, Haryana and West Bengal.
Mandatory registration adds a procedural condition to rice exports, which can tighten near-term supply and firm export offers. Possible effects on Bangladesh's import demand add uncertainty to the price outlook.
After 168 past bullish policy events, RICE moved a median +0.8% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.7% to +2.1%), and -0.4% over 20.
