The official notification declares that exports of de-oiled rice bran remain prohibited until September 30 of this year. The production of cattle and poultry feed requires large quantities of de-oiled rice bran as a fundamental ingredient. The export prohibition of de-oiled rice bran started in July 2023 and authorities have extended this ban multiple times since its inception. Up to September 30, 2025 the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) through a notification declared prohibitions on de-oiled rice bran exports.

The experts confirm that feed price escalation serves as a primary cause of increased milk costs across India yet the export restriction would boost domestic supply to lower market prices. The estimate shows that cattle feed utilizes 25 percent of rice bran extraction as feed ingredient.

A different announcement from the DGFT introduces modified wastage standards along with official production levels for exported jewelry and articles. A modification to the policy took place during November of previous year. The length permitted for gold and silver loss through manufacturing processes constitutes wastage norms in export jewellery operations.

The rules established for calculating manufacturing requirements to create one exportable unit form the basis of Standard Input-Output Norms (SION). Food products as well as fish and marine items fall within the scope of input output norms together with electronics, engineering, chemical and plastic and leather products and handicrafts.

Manufacturing exported jewellery together with other goods requires duty-free import of precious metals. The weight of exported items needs to match the imported metal value which exceeds manufacturing stage waste. Manufacturing establishments must strictly follow wastage norms because this protection prevents the use of imported duty-free metal as domestic goods.
