The government will not withdraw and relax the ban on export of rice, particularly the fine grade, in consideration of the political sensitivity involved in the price of the main food grain. Commerce ministry sources said the ministry at a meeting with a group of rice traders on Monday rejected their plea for revising the ban on fine rice export.
