Tamil Nadu has notified stock limits on rice and pulses for wholesalers, retailers, mills, processors and importers to curb hoarding and price rises. Traders must register inventories online and importers must clear stocks within 45 days of customs clearance, with holdings above the limits to be cut by the 16th.
Forced destocking of rice in a major Indian state can add near-term rice supply and soften domestic prices, though the effect on the global rough rice benchmark is limited to a regional market.
