The govt on Thursday removed the
restrictions on export of all varieties of pulses such as tur, urad and moong
dal etc to help farmers get remunerative prices for their produce. However, exports of these kinds of pulses can
be undertaken after taking permission from agri-export promotion body APEDA.
Presently, only the organic pulses
and Kabuli chana are permitted to be shipped in a limited quantity. The
Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in its notification said, that it
has removed prohibition on export of tur, urad and mung dal until further
orders. The ban on these varieties has been lifted with immediate effect. The notification
added that exports should be made through customs electronic data interchange.
The move will improve the returns to
farmers and potentially open up greater investments in the sector. The
country's pulses production has touched a record of 22.4 mln ton in 2016-17
crop year as against 16.35 mln ton in the previous year through encouragement
from the government.
