ah, after being packed and see this batch of sugar is headed to the port. india has already exported a record 7 and a half 1000000 tons the season. now the government has kept shipments to ensure there is enough left over for domestic consumption. get you look in our look, she lamps, company has been refining sugar for 90 years and he says the new rules could affect farmers incomes and the sugar season. it starts in november and the government would always like a minimum stock in the country of about 2 months, consumption or 2 and a half months conduct, which is somewhere around $6000000.00 tons. it's been a bumper harvest, but the world's top sugar producer. international demand is high sparking fears over domestic shortage during the festive season. later this year, when high global prices and a strong dollar have opened up business opportunities for farmers and traders, soaring inflation and concerns about food security back home had prompted the

government to implement protective measures including restricting wheat exports, wheat farmers such as sanjay party, our hope to caching on a favourable international market, prices rose after rushes invasion cut supply from the black sea region, but a scorching heat wave and india flattened output and the government band most exports to control domestic prices. that affected farmers, profits are going to get to that. the government price, it was higher last year, so we saw them more. this time the rates are lowered, read, production is much lower, it kept reading and there was war to log in to which and did the harvest. economists say these restrictions to little to reduce inflation. india's credibility as a reliable exp, order of friday, our commodities is going to be a seriously damaged it's. i don't see this as a good signal. al jazeera asper a government comment, but we didn't get

a reply. many countries have urged india to lift its ban on wheat exports. government leader said they want relax the bad, but a will consider requests from vulnerable countries. while we can speak to pub, new, live, know in new delhi and positive. what about local supplies? is the been having any impact over so the interest will take is that producers point out that the cap, the government has placed on these exports, which is about $10000000.00 tons, is much higher than what they've managed to export over the last few years. and then much of what was supposed to leave the shores has already left the understand that this is more of a preventative measures, but there are concerns in terms of loss in business opportunity. because for the 1st time in a while, the international market bought in terms of demand and prices was stronger than it had been in a while. and so their worries back the profits that are to trickle down to the

engine pharma could be smaller. economists though, are more concerned about the signal, the restriction on the wheat exports will have both domestically and internationally. again, the weak market domestically has been traditionally stronger, but the government was really keen to cash in on the strong dollar and the rising demand and prices internationally. and so when this band came above that sort of shocked a lot of people, and there was a lot of panic on ground, there was chaos. there were trucks that were stuck at boards, and eventually the government had to make some exceptions. now, economists point out that these are policies, especially the one regarding wheat that will do little to solve the inflation issue . back in india, you know, inflation is still very high. the latest numbers came in in terms of g. d. p growth for the quarter of jan to march. the economy grew at just about 4 percent,

which is the slowest in a while. but economists say that instead, the government needs to, or, you know, formulate policies that incentivize farmers to keep food produce here while making sure bear incomes are not hit. probably thanks so much the for the deposit him to live 40 philadelphia what malaysia is suspending the export of chicken and says it will review the ban when prices stabilize neighboring. singapore will be most affected in dine as the bracing for the cost of their national chicken and rice dish to saw. a people have been rushing to stock up on what's left on supermarket shelves. and our da 0 presenter has been sentence in absentia to 15 years. imprisoned by an addiction caught, i'm a to her was charged with spreading force news for an interview he conducted in 2018 without on winning of a photo. a leading opposition for garrander, former presidential candidate to her says the ruling and shameful and lacking logic

phased in the past decade after the 1st phase of this initial phase of excitement for many people because people are dying to go back to work, and companies are dying to reduce their operations. but after the initial phase, there might be more disappointments. because the reality is the consumer confidence is dampens, property market is still weak, although the weakness, the other part of the economy was due there and not address. and on top of that income growth has flowed significantly. so after the left of water restrictions, i think there is a lot of work has to be done to restore the market confidence and to get subsidies to the people that are most needing it. voting is underway in south korea is local elections, which is seen as a test of support for president eunice appealed human was sworn into office 3 weeks ago with the lowest ever approval rating of any new coming from abroad reports now
