# India allows exports of non-basmati white rice trapped at ports

> India allowed exports of non-basmati white rice cargoes that had been held at ports after an earlier ban. The move eases a previously sudden restriction on one of the most widely consumed rice varieties. Traders had been facing losses on the stranded tonnage.
