The Centre late Friday evening amended the Export Policy prohibiting the export of the country’s wheat following a spike in wheat prices globally.

The “food security of India, neighbouring countries and other vulnerable countries is at risk,” the notification read.

This comes at a time when the country what procurement is at an eight-year low of approximately 18.5 million tonnes, lowest since the 11.1 mt bought in 2007-08. Moreover, this would be the first time that wheat procured from the new crop (18.5 mt) is less than the public stocks at the start of the marketing season (19 mt).
