The overall export of Agricultural and Processed Food Export Development Authority (APEDA) products increased to $13.77 billion in April-September 2022 from $11.05 billion in the same period a year earlier
The country's wheat exports more than doubled to $1.48 billion during April-September 2022-23 as compared to the year-ago period, the Commerce Ministry said on Wednesday.
The exports stood at $630 million in the year-ago period.
Though the government banned wheat exports in May, some shipments are allowed to meet food security needs of the countries that request for it.
"Wheat export rose to $1,487 million in April-September 2022 from $630 million in April-September 2021," the Ministry said.
The global wheat supply has been seriously disrupted because of the Russia-Ukraine war. Both nations are major wheat producers.
The Ministry also said exports of agricultural and processed food products rose 25% during the six- month period of this fiscal year.
