NEW DELHI, 14 June 2022, (TON): India is processing the requests from several countries, including Bangladesh, on supplying wheat to them, said “M Angamuthu, chairman of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Authority.”
India banned wheat exports amid spiralling global prices on May 13. At that time, the Indian commerce ministry, however, clearly stated that the shipment of the staple food would be open under the government-to-government contract and to any other vulnerable country facing a food crisis.
Angamuthu said “India has kept its wheat export options open for developing countries to ensure their food security.”
He, however, declined to name the countries that are seeking Indian wheat.
A source said New Delhi has received letters seeking wheat supplies from Bangladesh, Yemen, Indonesia, the UAE and Oman.
