The Indian agriculture ministry's second advance estimate puts the 2025 wheat crop at a record 115.4 million tonnes, driven by larger plantings and higher guaranteed prices. An industry body says the 2024 crop was about 6% below government projections, and millers have asked for the 40% import duty to be cut.
A record Indian crop reduces the likelihood of wheat imports and weighs on global wheat prices. The disputed 2024 output and the import duty debate add some uncertainty.
