SUPPLY OF WHEAT TO WHEAT PRODUCT EXPORTERS


Exporters of wheat products will be given wheat from the existing wheat stocks within the States of Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra, Gujarat etc. Supplies to wheat product exporters were not promptly made in the past because of several reasons including shortage of railway wagons. For the States of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala the requirements of exporters of wheat products will be met by moving stocks of wheat from Manmad (on trunk route) in Maharasthra. The exporters are expected to take a full rake of wheat for export of wheat products.
