Govt bans export of de-oiled rice bran till next year's January 31

The government has banned exports of de-oiled rice bran, used in the cattle feed industry, till January 31, 2025.

Earlier in March, the government imposed a ban on this product till July 31.

"Export of de-oiled rice bran is prohibited up to January 31, 2025," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has said in a notification.

In a separate trade notice, the DGFT said a revamped non-preferential Certificate of Origin (eCoO) 2.0 system has been launched.

An exporter has to submit a 'certificate of origin' at the landing port of the importing country. This certificate is essential to prove where their goods come from.
