News Capsule: Considering Wheat Product Exports: Consumer Affairs Ministry Sends Recommendation to DGFT
★ The government is considering allowing the export of wheat products, given adequate domestic availability and strong production estimates. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution has sent a letter to the Ministry of Commerce and DGFT for further necessary action.
★ The Roller Flour Millers Federation of India had submitted a representation on November 3, requesting permission to export wheat products and demanding an export quota of at least 1 million tonnes in the initial phase.
★ This request is based on the surplus availability in the country and robust production estimates.
★ This development indicates that the government may consider gradually resuming limited exports of wheat products while assessing the domestic stock situation.
★ The Roller Flour Millers Federation of India deserves appreciation, as the organization has consistently highlighted industry-related challenges before the government. It has been working continuously for the welfare of the sector and has played an important role in policy decisions by offering practical solutions and timely suggestions.
