India Resumes Wheat Exports After Four-Year Hiatus Amid Bumper Harvest

India has resumed wheat exports after a four-year pause, driven by a record harvest and rising global prices and freight rates that enhance competitiveness. Consumer goods company ITC has begun loading 22,000 metric tons of wheat at Kandla port for shipment to the United Arab Emirates. The export ban, imposed due to crop damage from extreme heat in previous years, was lifted following improved crop conditions and stock levels.
