Russia has already given offer to export two lakh metric tons of wheat to Bangladesh, Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder told the parliament today (June 23, 2022).

India's ban on wheat export will not prevent export to neighbouring countries and countries that might wish to procure the current produce to supplement their domestic food security policies, at the request of their governments, said a statement of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.

India today indicated that it would not allow the food security of its South Asian neighbours to be hit by the ban imposed on exports of wheat and that the measure was a temporary one.
