India's decision to allow 2.5 million tonnes of wheat exports, after a gap of nearly four years, is described as poorly timed. Rising temperatures in northern India and moisture deficits in eastern and central wheat regions raise the risk to the harvest.
The 2025-26 production target is 119 million tonnes and the area is a record 33.4 million hectares.
Weather stress on the Indian crop could cut harvest size and reduce the exportable surplus that the new quota relies on. If the harvest disappoints, Indian and world wheat prices could firm instead of falling.
