# Government approves unrestricted exports of organic agri products | India News - The Indian Express

> India's cabinet committee on economic affairs approved removing quantitative ceilings on organic agricultural and processed products. Exports of organic goods are now unrestricted regardless of any restriction on their non-organic basic product. Ceilings on organic pulses and lentils remain, though the limit was raised from 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes.

## Why it matters

Removing the ceilings on non-organic wheat and non-basmati rice removes a barrier to Indian exports, which adds supply to world markets and is mildly bearish for rice prices. The effect on feed-grade commodities is likely small because the change mainly targets certified organic products.
