# India will keep tight control over wheat exports

> 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.
