> India's central government approved exports of 30,000 tonnes of non-Basmati white rice to Tanzania, 30,000 tonnes of broken rice to Djibouti, and 50,000 tonnes to Guinea-Bissau.

These permitted volumes are small relative to global rice trade and reflect India's continued restriction on exports, so the price impact is limited but keeps world supply tight.
