Wheat
India would export 10 lakh tonnes of wheat to Egypt :Rattan Lal Kataria
New Delhi: Former Union minister and Ambala MP Rattan Lal Kataria on Sunday said that India would export 10 lakh tonnes of wheat to Egypt and the Indian government hoped to touch the wheat export target to 1 crore tonnes.
The leading private companies are lifting the wheat crop from the grain markets to help government to meet the export targets, Kataria said and added that central government would become an important wheat exporting country following the 'policy of Village development and increase in agriculture income' made out by noted economist and thinker Nana Ji Deshmukh.
The BJP MP said that India was likely to put up its stand in the meet of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund where the food crisis was likely to be discussed in view of the Russia-Ukraine war.
He said that India would plead for the secession of the war lest the economies of food producing countries were being affected if the Russian-Ukraine war continues.
Kataria claimed that India was the second largest wheat producing country and the government was making every effort to increase wheat production.
