India is set to export a record 7 million metric tons of wheat this year as global prices rise against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a top Indian government official said on March 5.
“Indian wheat exports have picked up,” said Sudhanshu Pandey, a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution. “By the end of February, we had already exported 6.6 million tons of wheat. Still, one month is left.”
