The offtake of imported wheat from ports in south India has picked up due to good demand from millers and Stuckists in the region. Traders in south India imported wheat is cheaper than that ordered from northern part of the country. South Indian buyers do not expect prices to fall and are resorting to the imported grain. At present, there is nearly 1.3 million tonne wheat stocked at ports and it is likely to be sold in the next two-to-three months. In south India, imported wheat is available at low cost as compare to domestic wheat costs.
