what is the detail

The government has removed the minimum export price (MEP) of $950 per tonne on Basmati rice. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday that the move will boost exports and increase farmers' income. According to a Commerce Department notification, "It has been decided to remove the existing minimum export price (MEP) of $950 per tonne for issuing Registration-cum-Allotment Certificate (RCAC) for export of Basmati rice." APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) has been requested to take immediate steps to implement this decision. The government had reduced the minimum price for export of Basmati rice from $1,200 per tonne to $950 per tonne in early October last year. This was done due to concerns that exports would be affected due to high prices.
