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.
