# India: Wheat exports ban review likely in March

> Indian officials say the government will likely review its wheat export ban in March 2023, once the winter wheat harvest is clearer. Wheat area is up 25% year on year, and a bumper crop is expected if weather holds. Since May, the government has permitted about 2.5 million tonnes of exports.

## Why it matters

A larger expected crop raises the chance that India lifts its wheat export ban, which would add supply to world wheat markets and pressure prices lower.
