India exported 19.86 million tonnes of wheat to South and West Asia in April-August 2021, an eight-year high. Rice exports to China also rose, with Indian rice making up 23% of China's imports in January-August.
Strong Indian wheat and rice demand from Asian buyers tightens available supply and supports export prices for both grains.
