MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE
(SHRI SBPBK SATYANARAYANA RAO)
(a)&(b) No Sir. It is too early to assess the likely production of wheat for the year
2000-2001.
(c)&(d) Export of wheat can be one way of liquidating the stocks. Enquiries
regarding import of wheat have been received from some countries. However, Ruling
prices of wheat in India being very high, compared to the international prices, the export
potential of Indian wheat is extremely bleak. As a result, export deal with no other
country except Nepal could so far be clinched.
