Wheat flour export restriction

The Government of India decided to restrict wheat flour exports to curb rising commodity prices.

Wheat flour exports from India increased by 200 percent in the April-July 2022 period compared to the same period of the previous year.

The increase in wheat flour demand in the international market also triggered wheat prices in India.

As it will be remembered, India banned wheat exports on 14 May on the grounds of food safety.
