At press conference, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, on Friday, said "After the wheat ban was imposed, we tried to procure wheat again and could only get 6 lakh tonnes so farmers had already sold their produce and claims that the ban is anti-farmer are misplaced."
Mr. Goyal added "We are investigating all possibilities of any exporter who tried to game the system and export wheat by back-dating letters of credit after the ban and the strongest action will be taken against any such players."
On reports about Indian wheat consignment being rejected by Turkey, Mr. Goyal said this has been proved and it was found to be a consignment exported by ITC Limited to Nederlands which was diverted to Turkey without the company’s knowledge.

The U.S. President’s economic and tariff policies and measures to secure his country’s borders may seem justified in terms of promoting his nation’s interests but have wider ramifications not only for Americans themselves, but also for the rest of the world. His tariff proposals will result in supply chain disruptions, lead to market and currency volatility, disrupt capital and trade flows, contribute to inflation and cause a decline in world trade and economic growth, worsening the plight of the poor, especially in developing economies.
