# India's wheat plantings seen at record high but final output to depend on weather FAO says

> FAO expects India’s wheat plantings to reach a record level, supported by government incentives, including a remunerative minimum support price and fertilizer subsidies. The final crop, to be harvested from March to June 2027, will depend on weather through April–May, with El Niño a potential influence.

## Why it matters

Record planted area could expand India’s wheat supply and weigh on prices, but weather risk leaves production uncertain until later in the season. The outcome could affect India’s import demand and regional wheat trade.
