When the world is looking at India for the supply of wheat and other grains amidst the Russia- Ukraine war, the country has had to take a tough call to cut down on its wheat exports. It has left many food-dependent nations in a spot. In February, the government projected its production of wheat during the 2021-22 crop year to be 111.32 million tonnes. However, as an intense dry spell swept the country, the government said that the wheat production could fall to 105-106 million tonnes this year.
