# Non-Basmati Rice Export Now Requires APEDA Registration

> Notification No. 33/2025-26 of the DGFT adds a policy condition requiring non-basmati rice exporters to register all contracts with APEDA before shipment. Exports remain classified as free, but physical movement is allowed only after registration is completed.

## Why it matters

Contract registration before shipping slows the flow of non-basmati rice to buyers, which tends to support export prices. The condition does not ban trade, so the effect is moderate.
