INDIA HALTS WHEAT EXPORTS
India put wheat export under “prohibited” category post a sudden spike in the price of the commodity.
In a notification on Saturday, the Centre backed the move saying it was being done to manage overall food security of the country and support neighbouring and vulnerable countries.
Exports , however, will be allowed on basis of permission granted to other countries to meet their food security needs and based on the request of their government, the Centre added in its missive.
