The government has fixed the wheat procurement target at 30.3 million tonne for the 2026-27 Rabi Marketing Season (RMS). Similarly, the estimates for paddy procurement for Kharif Marketing Season (KMS) 2025-26 (Rabi Crop) have been fixed at 7.6 million tonne, in terms of rice. A quantity of around 7,79,000 tonne of coarse grains including millets (Shri Anna) has also been estimated for procurement by the states during the KMS 2025-26 (Rabi crop). Allotment of sufficient packaging material of 7.83 lakh Jute bales & 9.22 Lakh bales HDPE bags has also been made for estimated procurement.

The Food Corporation of India's (FCI) wheat stocks are projected at around 18.2 million tonne as of April 1, 2026, ensuring adequate supply for domestic requirements. India in February lifted a four-year ban on wheat and wheat product exports, approving an initial shipment allowance of 2.5 million tonne of wheat and 5,00,000 tonne of wheat products. 

Meanwhile, Wheat output is likely to surpass last year's record 117.94 million tonne, potentially touching 120 million tonne, on the back of record sowing across 33.41 million hectares and favourable weather conditions.
