India on Tuesday ruled out possibilities of wheat import ban.
In a written reply to a question in country s parliament, Prof. K.V. Thomas, Minister of State for Agriculture said there is no proposal under consideration of the government to ban the import of wheat by private mills.
The minister said the country has enough wheat stocks and lower global production of wheat is not likely to affect domestic availability of wheat.
India s wheat output is expected to hit 80.71 million tons during the next Rabi marketing season, according to Department of Agriculture & Cooperation.
International Grains Council has projected global wheat production during 2010-11 at 643.9 million tonne, as compared to estimated production of 677.2 million tonne during 2009-10.
