DescriptionPublished a notification clarifying the date of bill of lading and the arrival of the consignment to Indian ports. The clarification refers to notification No. 25/2015-2020, authorizing the import of consignment of soybean meal and soy cake derived from genetically engineered soybeans. The importation of soybean meal and cakes is required, given that India’s soybean production in 2021/2022 is estimated to be lower than its earlier assessment due to a negative impact from the erratic rainfall distribution this year. This measure aims to ensure adequate feed supplies for the poultry, livestock, dairy and aquaculture sectors.
