Wheat is not only a staple food - it's a quiet diplomat in international commerce. The second-largest wheat producer in the world, India, was in the limelight when it suspended exports in 2022 in a bid to meet domestic consumption needs as food inflation mounted.

But cut to 2024–25, and Indian wheat is gaining momentum back into the spotlight. Nations throughout the Middle East, Asia, and Africa are today looking to India not only for volume but also for quality. In this blog, let's learn who are the top importing countries and top buyers of wheat.

 

What Is the Story of Wheat Export in India?

Despite the food inflation and realigning grain relationships, India's wheat export has assumed an interesting twist. Following the 2022 ban on wheat exports to protect local supplies and meet the domestic consumption needs, India has resumed grain exports with selective and restrictive measures. Now in 2024-25, Indian wheat is back in demand across the world, led by its varied grain diversity and strong trade network.

India exported more than $2.3 million of wheat in 2024-25, including Sharbati, its soft and fragrant variety, which finds itself highly sought after in international markets due to its quality and texture. Other forms of wheat are also finding their way to health-conscious and bulk-consuming nations.
