Commerce and Industry Minister, C.R. Chaudhary said that in order to fulfill the new rules for the import of basmati rice, the European Union has given India as a deadline of December 31.
These new standards of the European Commission have asked for the maximum relic range (MRL) level not exceeding 0.01 mg per kilogram for the second year in Basmati rice, which is tricyclazole (which is fungal). For all countries exporting rice, these rules have been prescribed.
At a conference in Ascham, Chaudhary said that due to some plague or technical points, the European Union has not asked us to send Basmati rice to them. To not use these pesticides, we have to make the farmer aware about this and for this, we have requested to give them the least amount of time. By December 31, 2017, they have given us time so we have to focus on quality.
To get the standard set by the European Union, it can lead to two crop circles, Indian experts have said. Primarily from the European Union, India exports PB1 and 1401 types of aromatic basmati rice. So far, the Indian consignment of these varieties is being taken in the 0.03 mg per kg with the triclaclazol MRL in the European Union.
These criteria will benefit Pakistan, industry experts said, who does not use TriKiLazol in their crops and will be able to do more business to take advantage of these new rules. However, around 1700 million Indian basmati rice can get into a problem.
In 2016-17, EU exported 3.5 million tonnes of basmati rice and exported Rs 1,744 crore. India has exported and is the world's largest rice exporter in India. Basmati exports to EU are approximately 10% of total 4 million tonnes, which is done according to a report.
The Minister also informed that after the exit of the 2019 ranking due to the GST implementation, India will come to the top 50 countries in the business facility. He said, "After considering GST, we will definitely be in the top 50 when the World Bank will release its business review in 2019."
