Pressure on India to open Wheat Export

There is increasing international pressure on India regarding wheat exports. After European countries, now America has also urged India to reconsider the decision. This issue is also expected to come up in a special meeting of the G-7 countries on Wednesday. India has also been invited to participate. On the other hand, it is clear from India's stand that it will take care of diplomatic interests in the matter of wheat export.

Right now the supply of wheat is being affected in many big countries due to the Ukraine-Russia war. In such a situation, India, the world's second-largest producer, was seen as the main supplier, but India has decided to export only in some special cases. Private sector exports have been banned. This has increased the prices of wheat in the international market.

Traders from big countries like Indonesia, Turkey, and Egypt are buying wheat from wherever they are getting all over the world. In bilateral talks with India, leaders of many countries have expressed fears of a global wheat crisis in the coming days. On Tuesday, US Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield said, 'We have received information about the ban on wheat exports from India. We would urge every country not to take such a step. This will increase the crisis at the global level.
