In India, KNN reported that India is set to achieve a record wheat harvest in 2025, with production expected to reach 117 million metric tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The report noted that this surge is attributed to favorable weather conditions and the adoption of climate-resilient, high-yielding seed varieties.
Ratan Tiwari, director of the Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, noted that the absence of major crop damage and conducive climatic conditions during the grain-filling stage have significantly boosted yields. The increased use of advanced seed varieties has further enhanced productivity.
With the harvest nearing completion, the Indian government is expected to assess domestic needs before making decisions on export policies, the report added.
