It's possible that Uttar Pradesh's premier non-basmati rice variety, Kalanamak, would be the first to be excluded from the export prohibition. But, the decision can trigger a wave of demand from regions of the nation where superior rice varieties are farmed. The Food Ministry's plan is supposed to have been approved by an inter ministerial panel on Monday, and an announcement is anticipated to be sent out by March 15, according to sources.
According to information obtained, the administration has chosen to approve the shipping of Kalanamak rice via a Tamil Nadu port following its certification by the Uttar Pradesh government. But according to sources, there won't be a difference between developed types (dwarf plants) and conventional variants (larger plants).

Pivotal Judgement
According to him, the government's decision to recognize Kalanamak rice would be a major policy move that would demonstrate its support for other unique kinds that are on par with basmati rice. Chandrasekaran stated that the government's January 2024 regulations for Gobindobhog and Tulaipanji represent a significant policy change aimed at promoting local specialty rice varieties. He further stated that the term "non-basmati rice" must be dropped in favour of labels such as "specialty," "aromatic," "premium," and "common."
Gobindobhog, Tulaipanji, Katari Bhog, Kalo Nunia, and Radhuni Pagal are the five superior non-basmati varieties of rice of West Bengal for which the agriculture ministry has already announced grading and marketing guidelines.
