# FAO Expects Record India Wheat Planting as 2027 Output Hinges on Weather

> FAO expects India to plant a record wheat area for the 2027 harvest, supported by the minimum support price and fertilizer subsidies. It says the final crop will depend partly on April–May weather, including the influence of El Niño.

## Why it matters

A larger planted area could increase potential wheat supply, but it does not guarantee a record harvest and late-season weather remains a key uncertainty. The supply and price effect is therefore not yet clear.
