New Delhi (PTI) - The government has allowed the export of 32,094.70 tonnes of wheat flour to Maldives under the bilateral trade pact.
The total quantity of wheat flour will be exported by the state-owned trading firm MMTC Ltd. during the financial year 2011-12, the Director General Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
“The export of 32,094.70 tonnes of wheat flour to Maldives is permitted under the Bi-lateral Trade Agreement between the Government of India and the Republic of Maldives through MMTC Ltd. until 31 March, 2012,” the notification said.
India has banned the export of wheat and wheat products but allows shipments of small amounts through the diplomatic channel.
