Government approves wheat exports and allows additional wheat product and sugar exports

• India approved export of 25 LMT wheat + 5 LMT wheat products + additional 5 LMT sugar in Feb 2026, partially reversing the May 2022 wheat export ban.
• Decision taken by Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution (DFPD) to stabilise farm-gate prices amid a comfortable domestic supply position.
• Important for UPSC as it links food security vs. farmer remuneration trade-off, MSP economics, WTO AoA disciplines, and India's role in global cereal/sugar markets.
