Bangladesh Resumes Wheat Imports from India Amid Black Sea Supply Disruptions
Bangladesh has resumed significant wheat imports from India, booking over 200,000 tonnes since India lifted export restrictions in late August. This shift follows disruptions in Black Sea grain shipments caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has reduced exports from the region and raised global wheat prices. Previously, Bangladesh sourced about 70% of its wheat from India and 40% from the Black Sea region. Most Indian wheat shipments to Bangladesh will be transported by rail, with prices ranging from $305 to $326 per tonne. The supply disruption has also affected other countries reliant on Black Sea wheat exports.
