India, the second-biggest grower of wheat, allowed private companies to export the grain for the first time in four years, Food Minister K.V. Thomas said.
A panel of ministers permitted overseas sales of 2 million metric tons of wheat and 2.1 million tons of non-basmati rice, Thomas told reporters after a meeting today. The exports will be halted once the specified amounts are shipped, he said.
