India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade extended until 1 April 2027 an exemption from mandatory inspection certificates for rice exports to European countries outside the EU, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Exports to those specified destinations still require a certificate from the Export Inspection Council or an Export Inspection Agency.
The extension reduces a compliance hurdle for Indian rice shipments to some European markets, potentially supporting export flows. It is unlikely to materially change overall rice availability or prices.
