&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Production has dipped for the first time in the Modi era and procurement has plummeted, bringing wheat stocks down and affecting foodgrain-based schemes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Narendra Modi-led Central government is going to be confronted with a crisis that it has never faced yet &amp;ndash; shortage of wheat, one of India&amp;rsquo;s key staples. The worry about this looming cloud is aggravated by the fact that the Modi government has not been particularly successful in dealing with such crises in the past. It couldn&amp;rsquo;t handle the medical oxygen crisis during the Delta variant phase in 2021 causing widespread distress; it couldn&amp;rsquo;t handle the coal shortage in power plants recently which caused huge outages even as temperatures were soaring; it has been unable to handle the cooking oil crisis leading to sky high prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;What was being pictured as an unprecedented opportunity for India to break into the global wheat trade market has very rapidly turned into a prospective shortage within the country, thanks to the unusual heat wave in March which saw temperatures break 122-year-old records. This led to damage of standing wheat crop across Northern India. The evaluation by scientists was that full growth (&amp;ldquo;filling&amp;rdquo;) of wheat grains in the field was hampered and the grain became shrivelled and under-weight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extreme heat causes wheat output to dip by 6%&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to Sudhanshu Pandey, food secretary, the projected wheat output has been downgraded from the estimated 111.32 million tonnes to 105 million tonnes in the 2021-22 crop year. Last year, India had produced 109.59 million tonnes of wheat. It is for the first time since 2014-15 that wheat output is expected to decline.&lt;/p&gt;

The worry about this looming cloud is aggravated by the fact that the Modi government has not been particularly successful in dealing with such crises in the past. It couldn&amp;rsquo;t handle the medical oxygen crisis during the Delta variant phase in 2021 causing widespread distress; it couldn&amp;rsquo;t handle the coal shortage in power plants recently which caused huge outages even as temperatures were soaring; it has been unable to handle the cooking oil crisis leading to sky high prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;What was being pictured as an unprecedented opportunity for India to break into the global wheat trade market has very rapidly turned into a prospective shortage within the country, thanks to the unusual heat wave in March which saw temperatures break 122-year-old records. This led to damage of standing wheat crop across Northern India. The evaluation by scientists was that full growth (&amp;ldquo;filling&amp;rdquo;) of wheat grains in the field was hampered and the grain became shrivelled and under-weight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extreme heat causes wheat output to dip by 6%&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to Sudhanshu Pandey, food secretary, the projected wheat output has been downgraded from the estimated 111.32 million tonnes to 105 million tonnes in the 2021-22 crop year. Last year, India had produced 109.59 million tonnes of wheat. It is for the first time since 2014-15 that wheat output is expected to decline.&lt;/p&gt;

Can Modi Govt Handle Approaching Wheat Crisis? -Subodh Varma

-Newsclick.in Production has dipped for the first time in the Modi era and procurement has plummeted, bringing wheat stocks down and affecting foodgrain-based schemes. The Narendra Modi-led Central government is going to be confronted with a crisis that it has never faced yet – shortage of wheat, one of India’s key staples. The worry about this looming cloud is aggravated by the fact that the Modi government has not been particularly successful in dealing with such crises in the past. It couldn’t handle the medical oxygen crisis during the Delta variant phase in 2021 causing widespread distress; it couldn’t handle the coal shortage in power plants recently which caused huge outages even as temperatures were soaring; it has been unable to handle the cooking oil crisis leading to sky high prices. What was being pictured as an unprecedented opportunity for India to break into the global wheat trade market has very rapidly turned into a prospective shortage within the country, thanks to the unusual heat wave in March which saw temperatures break 122-year-old records. This led to damage of standing wheat crop across Northern India. The evaluation by scientists was that full growth (“filling”) of wheat grains in the field was hampered and the grain became shrivelled and under-weight. Extreme heat causes wheat output to dip by 6% According to Sudhanshu Pandey, food secretary, the projected wheat output has been downgraded from the estimated 111.32 million tonnes to 105 million tonnes in the 2021-22 crop year. Last year, India had produced 109.59 million tonnes of wheat. It is for the first time since 2014-15 that wheat output is expected to decline. Please click here to read more.
