\nMembers of All India Rice Exporters\u2019 Association (AIREA) met Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu in Delhi yesterday to protest European Union\u2019s decision to fix maximum residue limit (MRL) of tricyclazole in rice export to 0.01 ppm from 1ppm.<\/p>\n
Vijay Setia, president, AIREA, said a delegation comprising members of the association had met the Union Minister and officials of the Agriculture Ministry to discuss the criteria fixed by the EU on export of rice. He said the government had raised the issue with the EU and assured to provide them relief.<\/p>\n
Tricyclazole is a chemical used for treating rice in India. Members of the association said it was difficult to meet the January 1 deadline fixed by the EU to cut MRL level.<\/p>\n
They demanded the Union Minister to seek one-year relaxation \u0007from the EU as paddy crop had already arrived in \u0007the market.<\/p>\n
The exporters are worried as the new criteria may hit export of 3.5 lakh tonne PUSA Basmati-1 and PUSA Basmati-1401 variety to the EU.<\/p>\n
Setia said more and more workshops would be held at the village level to educate farmers on the use of chemical for treating the crop.<\/p>\n
He said tricyclazole was a chemical used to save the plant from leaf and neck blast, but the farmers were using it haphazardly resulting in the EU imposing stricter norms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
