NEW DELHI: Retail prices of wheat, rice, sugar and edible oils are showing a declining trend after the measures taken by the government, including curbs on exports of wheat and sugar, food secretary Sudhanshu Pandey said on Thursday.
Amid rising inflation, the government, on May 13, banned exports of wheat. Thereafter, it capped sugar exports at 10 million tonne for this year and prior to that, duties on key edible oils were reduced. Besides, stock limits on edible oils and oilseeds are in place to check hoarding.
