Question

what are the stock of wheat and rice in july 2002 in india

Answer 1

The total export of wheat and rice has exceeded 15 million tonnes, valued at over Rs 6,656 crore, since the government began supplying the grains to exporters from official stocks at reduced rates in November 2000. This includes 8.42 million tonnes of wheat and 6.76 million tonnes of rice.

Of this, export orders for nearly 1.4 million tonnes of wheat and 2.4 million tonnes of rice have been secured by exporters since July 2002.

This has made India the sixth largest exporter of wheat and second largest seller of rice overseas. If the trend continued, India would overtake Thailand to emerge as the largest exporter of rice during the current year.
