DescriptionProhibited exports of rice to prevent increases in local rice quotations and to ensure sufficient local availabilities. The ban was to be reviewed 20 days after its inception, but mid-May reports suggest that it was maintained in light of concerns regarding water availability to irrigate the local crop.
