Rajya Sabha member Sanjeev Arora has written to the Centre seeking immediate consideration and intervention in abolishing minimum export price (MEP) imposed on Basmati rice.
“After detailed discussions, it was agreed in principle to finalise a long-term contract with HAFED for a regular supply of rice to armed forces shops in Rwanda and also explore the possibility of exporting refined sunflower oil, cold pressed mustard oil and millet-based products,” an official spokesperson said.
