Indian Flour Millers Need More Wheat

Indian flour millers have demanded that the Indian government allocate more wheat to the industry from the central reserve as there is not enough available in the domestic market to meet their requirements.

The Roller Flour Millers Federation of India has asked the federal government to release six million tonnes of wheat for the industry until the new crop arrives on the market in March.

But so far the government has announced the release of only one million tonnes of wheat under the open market sale scheme, despite having plenty of wheat in state reserves.
