Indian pulse export ban, 2006
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian pulse export ban of 2006 occurred on June 28, 2006 when the finance minister of India declared a ban, with immediate effect, on exports of sugar, pulses and wheat until the next harvest, due to domestic shortages. It will be in force until December 2006.[1] The ban was later extended until March 31, 2007.[2] This has pushed prices up in countries such as Bangladesh and the United States of America.
Some exporters have moved to court to challenge the ban.[3]
