Government's Wheat Sale Faces Low Demand

Government's Wheat Sale Faces Low Demand

The government is trying to sell extra wheat it has in storage through online auctions.

But not many big buyers like flour millers are interested because wheat prices are stable and there's enough wheat available.

The government has sold only a small amount of wheat so far this year, much less than it planned.

They think they might sell about 1.2 million tonnes this year.

Wheat prices have been low because there's a lot of wheat being grown.

The government is also selling a lot of rice, but it still has too much in storage.
