India Reverses Wheat Export Ban Amid Global Food Crisis

The Indian government has lifted its ban on wheat exports, effective immediately. This decision follows a February move that allowed limited shipments of the grain. The export policy for wheat has been revised from 'prohibited' to 'free', allowing free movement of wheat and its products.

As per notifications from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, India will now allow exports of wheat flour, maida, and semolina, among other products. This move is seen as a significant development for the country's agricultural sector, particularly in light of the recent global food crisis.
