Heatwaves across many wheat-producing states have resulted in a dip in the production of the staple grain this year.

India’s wheat production is likely to fall 3% to 106.41 million tonnes this year from last year’s output of 109.59 million tonnes, the Hindustan Times reported on Friday, citing the Union agriculture ministry’s third advance estimates of output of food grains.

Severe heatwaves across many wheat-producing states have resulted in a dip in the production of the staple grain this year. The low figures were reported after five consecutive years of a record harvest.

On May 13, India banned wheat exports to control the rising prices of the crop in the country.

Earlier this month, the Union government had also announced a reduction in the amount of wheat to be allocated to states and Union Territories from May to September under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. The reduced quota of wheat will be made up for with rice.

While announcing the reduction of wheat allotment to states, the ministry of consumer affairs, food and public distribution had said that the production in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh has been low due to early summer and shrivelled grain. Farmers and traders were also hoarding some wheat expecting higher prices of the grain, the ministry added.
