Govt prohibits wheat exports with immediate effect to manage food supply
The government has prohibited wheat exports in an effort to manage the overall food security of the country and to need the support of the neighboring and vulnerable countries.
The Central Government has put wheat export under the "prohibited" category in an effort to manage overall food security of the country and to need the support of the neighbouring and vulnerable countries.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), in an official notification issued on Friday evening, stated that as a transitional arrangement wheat export will be allowed in case of shipments where the irrevocable letter of credit (ILOC) has been issued on or before May 13.
It added that export will also be permitted on the basis of permission granted by the Central Government to other countries to meet their food security needs and based on request of their governments.
"The Government of India is committed to providing for the food security requirements of India, neighbouring and other vulnerable developing countries which are adversely affected by the sudden changes in the global market for wheat and are unable to access adequate wheat supplies," read the notification.
Meanwhile, India will send trade delegations to nine countries including Morocco, Tunisia, and Indonesia to explore possibilities of boosting wheat shipments as it targets to export 10 million tonnes of the grain in 2022-23.
The way I see this playing out is Devil Covid hits and deaths go through the roof -- total lockdown (fear will be off the charts)... those that don't die from devil covid starve to death ... they will not dare to try to go to a supermarket for fear of DC....
And in any event the supermarkets will be bare because the supply chain is in the process of being demolished.
Some food will initially be delivered but then that will stop -- promises will be made but the food will always arrive 'tomorrow'
Shanghai is a dry run for this - they want to see how people react to extreme lockdowns... and sporadic food availability... as we can see there is no push back....
Everything is proceeding according to plan.
We will be exterminated with the least amount of suffering.
