# Regulatory woes thwart potential wheat export gains for India spawned by Russia-Ukraine war

> Moneycontrol reports that Indian wheat exports to Europe may be blocked by regulatory approval hurdles, despite the Ukraine export disruption. Bangladesh, which took 60% of India's allowed wheat imports this year, is ramping up purchases. Sri Lanka and the UAE are smaller buyers.

Regulatory barriers limit how much Indian wheat can replace lost Ukrainian supply in Europe, so the effect on global wheat prices is modest. Growing Bangladeshi demand provides a more realistic regional outlet.
