Policy InstrumentExport taxes

DescriptionRemoved the 3-5 percent export taxes applied on husked and semi/wholly milled rice (parboiled, polished/glazed, in packages of 2 kg or less and otherwise). In the case of broken rice, the export taxes were lowered from 4.5-5 percent to 2 percent, while for paddy (not for sowing), export taxes were cut from 5-6 percent to 3-4 percent, depending on whether the rice is parboiled or otherwise and sold in packages of 2 kg or less. The decision took effect on 7 September 2023.
