On sugar exports, Siraj Hussain, former Agricultural Secretary, told CNBC-TV18, “I think the situation is still not very satisfactory. The talks maybe going on between Russia and Ukraine, but I think the ports continue to be disruptive, the port operations."
He said: "As far as India is concerned, I expect some kind of cap on export of sugar. Now, it seems that the government will not allow the unlimited quantity of sugar to be exported.”
On wheat, he said, “I think Indian exporters are taking advantage of the crisis in African countries, especially in North Africa, and some Arab countries. So we should be able to export a good quantity of wheat. But on the whole, I think we are still not out of woods.”
