# Farm exports: Cabinet Secretary-led panel may review curbs - DST - Daily Shipping Times

> India's government may soon mandate a high-level panel under the Cabinet Secretary to review export curbs on major farm items including onion, rice, wheat, cotton and sugar. The panel's mandate is likely to be expanded from reviewing prices, demand and supply. The aim is a more predictable trade regime and higher farmer incomes.

## Why it matters

A predictable export regime for Indian rice, wheat and sugar would make these origins more reliable for buyers and could ease sudden supply shocks in world markets. Until the policy is set, the threat of restrictions keeps some upside risk in global prices.
