The DGFT Notification No. 56 dated 04.02.2025 amends the export policy of De-Oiled Rice Bran under Chapter 23 of the ITC(HS) 2022, prohibiting its export until September 30, 2025. This decision modifies the earlier Notification No. 23/2024-25 dated August 16, 2024, which had allowed free export. The restriction applies to various forms of de-oiled rice bran, including oil cake and meal (both expeller and solvent-extracted varieties). The move is likely aimed at ensuring domestic availability for the livestock and feed industry, stabilizing local prices, and addressing concerns related to raw material shortages for animal feed producers.
