Faced with the government agencies' failure in wheat procurement and an increase in demand, the Central government may relax quality norms for imports from the US after 15 years.
According to officials, India had banned wheat imports from the US following differences in quality standards.
Now, officials said, the Centre is mulling relaxation of washing standards set by India for imported wheat to accommodate imports from the US.
Several US companies and farm sector have been lobbying
with India for this for quite sometime.
