Open market sale of wheat unlikely to start this month
Unexpectedly low wheat procurement disrupts Government’s plan to sell grain in open market before policy ends on July 31. Officials closely monitor prices, citing no concerns yet.
An unexpected fall in wheat procurement from a “realistic target” has derailed the Government’s plan to start selling the grain in the open market anytime soon, even as the current policy is about to end on July 31. Besides, the Government is closely monitoring prices and there is no concern on that front, so far, official sources said.
