Early Wheat Harvest Indicates Potential Record Output and Supply Boost in India

Wheat harvesting has begun early in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, with reports indicating higher yields and a potential record output exceeding 117 million tonnes for the 2025-26 rabi season. Favorable weather and increased acreage, now at 33.41 million hectares, support expectations of a strong harvest. This may boost government and private stocks, improve market supplies, and enhance exports to neighboring countries. Harvesting in other key states is anticipated later this month.
