The Indian government is contemplating the export of surplus rice and wheat to several countries, including Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, and Myanmar, to address humanitarian needs amid ongoing conflicts. The Food Corporation of India has reported a substantial surplus of these grains, necessitating action to free up storage space in government warehouses located in Punjab and Haryana. A high-level meeting in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) discussed options for exporting food items by ship, particularly to Gulf countries, where supply chains have been disrupted due to regional conflicts. Officials indicated that bulk carriers could be utilized to transport food items while picking up fresh cargo, enhancing the efficiency of the export process. Additionally, there are plans to send high-value food items, such as basmati rice, by air to meet rising demands.
