This morning the NSW rice industry, home of Nice Rice by Honestly Riverina Ltd, was informed that the current export limitations are to be lifted on 1 July 2025. We welcome the NSW Government’s decision and look forward to working with all stakeholders through this important process. From the Minister’s press release; Under the future arrangements, growers will be afforded greater choice and flexibility to pursue a range of markets, including export markets. It will also benefit the long-term sustainability of the industry in the face of lower water availability and a more variable climate. Read the full press release here; https://lnkd.in/gw9E_6k5.
