No wheat imports as procurement to exceed targets: Sharad Pawar
“As per the information given to me by the state governments, I think our set target of 150 lakhs (15 million tonnes) will escalate to 200 lakhs (20 million tonnes). So if we are reaching this target, then the question of import is ruled out”
Union Agriculture and Food Minister Sharad Pawar on Monday ruled out wheat imports as government procurement is poised to exceed the targets this year. via AndhraNews
