भारत ने वैश्विक पोषण मिशन की दिशा में एक और बड़ी छलांग लगाई है। कृषि एवं प्रसंस्कृत खाद्य उत्पाद निर्यात विकास प्राधिकरण (एपीडा) की पहल पर छत्तीसगढ़ से कोस्टा रिका को फोर्टिफाइड चावल कर्नेल (FRK) की पहली खेप भेजी गई है। यह कदम “कुपोषण मुक्त भारत” को अंतरराष्ट्रीय पहचान देने की दिशा में एक मील का पत्थर साबित हो रहा है।

But, a drop in demand has left huge amounts of the blackrice unsold.

India is the biggest exporter of rice in the world commanding a share of almost 40 per cent. However, deficient rainfall in the paddy growing states in the Indo-Gangetic Plains has raised an alarm with fears of the Union government restricting rice exports. Four months ago, the Indian government had prohibited wheat exports.

A year after it imposed a 20 per cent duty on export of non-basmati rice, India has now completely prohibited its export this year as inclement weather conditions have adversely affected the sowing of rice in the key rice-producing states. India is the leading exporter of rice and the move is likely to affect global rice prices.

After two weeks of vigorous market speculation about the possibility of India putting some curbs in place to limit the export of rice, the Union government has put taxes on non-basmati, non-parboiled rice and prohibited the export of broken rice. The decision has invited criticism from exporters as they caution that such flip-flop in the export policy is detrimental to the country's commercial interests in the world market.
