Wheat imports not before Aug: Govt
India, the world's biggest wheat producer after China, may not have to import the grain before August because the country has sufficient stockpiles, Commerce Secretary G K Pillai said. The country has imported almost 1.8 million tonnes of wheat since July to build stockpiles. Purchases in the year ending June may drop to 2 million tonnes, less than a third of the previous year, the US Department of Agriculture said on January 11.
