- Market buoyant despite high domestic wheat incomes: Planting for new crop started in country

As the rupee tumbled against the dollar in the country's currency market, the global situation for wheat exports has become brighter. Although the Indian government had put restrictions on wheat exports in May due to the sudden increase in wheat exports, but following the request of various countries around the world, the Indian government has allowed the export of wheat to the governments of these various countries. The sources said that it has continued even after the month of May. In the current year, the export of other agricultural products besides wheat has increased by around 24 to 25 percent. And in 6 months, such export has increased to 13 billion dollars and has reached the level of 13 billion 76 to 77 million dollars. The target of twelve months of such export has been set at 23 to 24 billion dollars!
