Government Export Ban on De-oiled Rice Bran (DORB): Policy, Market Impact, and Future Outlook

De-oiled Rice Bran (DORB) is an essential, yet often overlooked, component of India’s animal feed industry. Its rich profile of protein, fiber, and energy makes it invaluable for cattle, poultry, and aquaculture feed formulations. However, the Indian DORB market experienced a dramatic shift following a major government policy change in July 2023—a move whose reverberations continue to impact the entire sector. Backdrop: DORB and Its Role in Indian Animal Feed India is a global heavyweight in rice production, yielding approximately 5.5 million tonnes of DORB annually as a byproduct of the oil extraction process. Of this, about 10-12% was traditionally exported, with Vietnam being a top destination. DORB had solidified its place as a cost-effective, nutrient-rich feed ingredient, supporting the dietary needs of livestock across India. The Policy Shock: Export Ban Announcement The game-changer came on July 28, 2023, when the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued a sudden ban ...

Dolomite in DORB: The Invisible Threat to Livestock and its Safety

Deoiled Rice Bran (DORB) is a critical component of livestock feed, but recent reports of adulteration with   dolomite , marble powder , and other minerals have raised alarms across the agricultural sector. These cheap additives jeopardize animal health, farm productivity, and even human safety. Here’s what farmers, feed manufacturers, and consumers need to know.

Impact of India’s DORB Export Ban on Vietnam: Current Realities and Future Market Dynamics

India’s decision to ban the export of de-oiled rice bran (DORB) in July 2023 marked a watershed moment for Vietnam’s animal feed industry. As the ban—now extended until September 30, 2025—continues, it has triggered immediate supply shocks, forced strategic realignments, and is set to reshape the future of feed ingredient sourcing in Vietnam. Significant Pre-Ban Reliance Before the ban, Vietnam was India’s largest DORB customer, accounting for over half of India’s total DORB exports in early 2023. In the first five months of 2023 alone, Vietnam imported 155,900 tons of Indian DORB, representing a staggering 54% of India’s total DORB exports .  This heavy reliance made Vietnam particularly vulnerable to any disruption in Indian supply. Immediate Supply Shock and Market Disruption The ban, imposed with immediate effect in July 2023, abruptly severed Vietnam’s main supply of DORB, causing instant shortages and significant disruption in the Vietnamese feed sector .  Feed manufactu...
