# India mulls lifting flour ban before removing restrictions on wheat exports – MillingandMillers.com

> India is reportedly considering lifting its ban on wheat flour exports before easing curbs on wheat grain, according to a government official. Wheat procurement reached 29.92 million tonnes by June 30, the highest in three years, and the government says wheat supply is not in surplus like rice.
