An Emerald briefing says India will keep tight control over wheat exports after the May ban, which allows exceptions only for shipments under existing letters of credit and for food-security requests from foreign governments. It adds that Delhi may consider rice restrictions if monsoon rains disappoint, and that global wheat prices will stay elevated in the short term.
Continued restriction of Indian wheat exports keeps global wheat supply tight and supports prices, with rice curbs a risk if the monsoon weakens.
