a food experts or warning rushes war and ukraine has put a critical pinch in global food supplies. we're not helping is a recent you turn by india, which had promised to export more wheat. it's the start of the summer, and india is experiencing heat waves this year. record temperatures come on, it's soaring, inflation and rising prices. and the hot weather is already hurting farmers. it will because of the heat wave, a crops are suffered due to the sudden rise in temperature, where the water table, how strong the great heat has decimated a crop yield by ha odd heat egg. that is why a new delhi has banned wheat exports. it wants to put india's own food security 1st, made frequent supply chain disruptions and rising food prices. but the government has stopped short of an outright ban india plans to on a shipment agreements into before the ban. and they will continue to export to food deficit countries,
12:23 pm
including egypt and bangladesh. but that doesn't supply much relief for major v importers. on monday, wheat prices, so to a record high following the indian governments announcement now put yourself in a position where in a low income country or lower lower middle income country, where you were, let's say, spending 50 percent of your income or more on food. and certainly your got your, your food got more expensive. this is what we're seeing in many parts of, of the world as we speak. and while neighboring countries like bangladesh and still anchor can continue to count and india for now. the question for their governments and others across the world is how they can feed their populations. if food prices continue to rise, they haul jury is our corresponded in delhi. ne hall, could you take us behind this? you turn in? he was supposed to make it step you as a major,

we'd exporter. what happened while india has been on an upward trend when it comes to weed exports, for instance, last year they were able to export 3 times the amount that they did the last deal. so there was a lot of confidence around that, and the projections were the visio, it would be even larger exports. and so endeavors looking to expand its market. but then that didn't quite happen because of india's immense heat wave the seal. so march this year was one of the hottest and, and this was a sudden spike in temperature, not a gradual increase or destroyed a lot of crops across india, especially in states which are major wheat producers. and so some of the farmers we've spoken to have lost half of their yield. and what's also happened as a result of that is that farmers are selling their wheat. do private traders have been able to offer a better price than the government. and so at the beginning of may, the government realized that they had 30 percent less than what they expected by this time. so under this ban, where does all that we go now?

does it stay in the domestic market? it does are some of it as a goes as well to neighboring countries like bangladesh and tree lung car, which india has been supplying for years and will continue to honor that because these are contracts had already been signed domestically are we does the staple food? so most households you eat it and cook it every day and our most of the production is going there. apart from that, india also has famine reserves, which it keeps for disasters. and a lot of these famine reserves had run dry because grains were used and distributed during as covered relief packages. and so that is a deficit that india needs to refill as well. no. to what extent is daily likely to respond to outside pressure about this decision? it seems unlikely. and we have to remember that in 2005 india saw a week crisis. and it happened because india miscalculated and exported too much wheat. and then they had to spend the next several years important greet from other
12:26 pm
countries. and so there's a sensitivity around this issue. both people and governments don't want to make that mistake again. many of the experts we've spoken to were agricultural policy researchers. they actually agree with the band because they say it is important to protect india's internal from security. and there is a growing sense that that there is no need for india to look a good on the global front when it might come back to bite them. the next deal or a new whole jury in delhi. thank you very much. let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. and speaking of wheat, german farmers are growing more of the grain this year. they've increased their acreage by nearly 3 quarters to 53000 hector's. that's according to official figures. we prices of jumped were tighter supplies from the war budget airline. easyjet says it hopes to carry almost as many passengers this summer as in pre pandemic times. following strong ticket sales, which buck
