India has approved the export of 75,000 tonnes of non-basmati rice to the United Arab Emirates, marking the 4th shipment allowed since India banned rice exports in July to control domestic inflation. Earlier, India permitted rice exports to Singapore, Bhutan and Mauritius after requests from those nations citing food security needs. The government stated that as a country mindful of global food security, India will continue supplying rice to friendly nations for domestic use only. Besides white rice, India has also exported broken rice to several African countries despite prohibiting overseas sales. The export ban in July came amid global supply worries after Russia's withdrawal from a Black Sea grain deal.
