<h1>India Approves Wheat Exports Under Open General License; Pulses Export Largely Banned Except for Specific Varieties.</h1> The Government of India evaluates various factors, such as food security and international demand, before deciding on agricultural exports. While the export of pulses is largely banned to ensure domestic availability, exceptions are made for certain varieties and diplomatic reasons, such as exporting pulses to Maldives. Wheat export is permitted under Open General License due to sufficient domestic availability, and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the export of 2 million tons of wheat from the Food Corporation of India's stock. This decision aims to balance growers' interests and public access to affordable food.
