India has lifted its four-year ban on wheat and wheat product exports. This move is expected to help temper rising global prices for the staple food. Small and medium enterprises can now export their brands overseas after the ban removal. Global wheat prices had risen due to geopolitical tensions and the Russia-Ukraine war. Increased demand from Bangladesh is anticipated following the export restrictions being eased.
