Wheat
India is the largest producer of wheat in the world, accounting for about 15% of global wheat production. Native Indian wheat is universally recognized for its quality and has always been in demand. During the latter half of the 19th century, several Indian wheat varieties were used as parental lines in Australia, Kenya and other countries to improve their own grain quality and tolerance to abiotic stresses. For several decades, British India exported annually one million tonnes of wheat to England, Belgium, Spain, Italy and France and wheat flour to the Middle East, Africa, Yemen and several other nations. Indian wheat exports should cross 5 million tonnes, not bad for a country that only a few decades ago sought American wheat to feed its people.
