Bangladesh is set to purchase wheat from India to address its domestic demand amidst global supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Traders from both nations are currently negotiating deals, as India recently lifted its export ban on wheat, allowing 2.5 million tonnes of shipments. This move aims to stabilize the market and improve returns for Indian farmers. The decision comes as global demand for food rises due to fertilizer supply disruptions, with Bangladeshi buyers seeking to mitigate soaring shipment costs. The upcoming visit of Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman to India on April 7 marks an effort to enhance trade relations, following a period of strained ties after political unrest in Bangladesh. Despite some damage to winter-sown wheat crops due to extreme weather, experts believe the overall impact on India's wheat production will be limited, estimating a loss of no more than 2% from the expected total output of 120 million tonnes.
