India Removes Export Restrictions on Wheat and Related Products After Four Years
India has lifted export restrictions on wheat, durum wheat, and related products like atta, maida, and semolina, moving them from the prohibited to the free export category effective immediately. The policy shift follows record wheat production and ample government stocks, aiming to support farmers amid depressed domestic prices and ease global supply pressures caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Earlier quota-based export limits are now removed, allowing exporters greater flexibility to meet international demand while ensuring domestic food security.
