The Russia-Ukraine war also had an impact on wheat prices in the country. To control the prices of wheat, the central government had banned the export of wheat. At present, the condition of wheat storage in the country is fine. Food exporters had been pleading with the Central Government for exemption to export wheat for a long time. Keeping in view the situation of food security needs in the country, the Central Government has given permission to send wheat consignment abroad. According to the records of the Central Government, 186 exporters have been allowed to export wheat under the provisions of the Transitional Arrangement under the Foreign Trade Policy, 2015-2020 and certain conditions.
