# Wheat Prices Skyrocket, Impacting Essential Foods and Everyday Staples

> Retail wheat prices in Bangalore reportedly rose to 52–55 rupees per kilogram from 40–42 rupees a month earlier, while wholesale prices increased to 5,200–5,500 rupees per quintal. Traders attributed the surge to lower yields following inadequate rainfall and tighter market supplies. Higher procurement and transport costs are also increasing flour millers’ costs, putting pressure on margins and raising the prospect of more expensive wheat products.
