# Indian Cabinet nod for 1 mt white rice export to Indonesia, says Shivraj Singh Chouhan  - The HinduBusinessLine

> The Indian Cabinet approved a plan to export 1 million tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Indonesia through NCEL, with Bulog as the Indonesian counterparty. Officials said the rice will be sourced from the open market rather than government buffer stock. Global rice prices had firmed slightly from mid-November after falling over 10%.

## Why it matters

The government-to-government contract creates a defined export channel for Indian rice, which supports Indian prices but adds supply to global markets and is bearish for rice.
