India has allowed exports of 25,000 metric tonnes (MT) of corn (maize) under the United Nations’ World Food Programme, despite the government ban imposed last month, the government of India’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) of the commerce ministry said in a statement.

The corn will be exported by Delhi-based Emmsons International to Kenya, Somalia and Burundi, the statement said.

On July 3, India banned the export of corn until Oct. 15.
