Rice harvested prior to the end of vesting and export

The rice vesting provisions allow one Sole and Exclusive Export Licence (SEEL) to export milled rice from NSW. Unless a person or entity is the holder of that SEEL, any rice harvested prior to 1 September 2024 in northern NSW is still subject to the vesting arrangements and cannot be exported. Sumilarly, any rice harvested in southern NSW before 1 July 2025 is subject to vesting arrangements and cannot be exported, except by the SEEL holder. The Rice Marketing Board will continue to monitor vested rice under the Act and the SEEL until the Board is wound up. Read more about vesting and export of rice here.
