India doesn’t see a case for controls on wheat exports, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution said in a statement Thursday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is facilitating market access for export of wheat. Egypt and Turkey have approved imports of Indian wheat and European countries like Italy and Netherlands are also looking for imports from India, according to the statement.
