Wheat crops across India are in good condition, with expected yields rising by 10%. The Agriculture Ministry estimates a record 1154.30 lakh tonnes, surpassing last year’s 1132.90 lakh tonnes and the target of 1150 lakh tonnes. Challenges are reported in Rajasthan due to adverse weather, particularly in Jhalawar and Pratapgarh.
