Minister: High demand for a particular brand of wheat flour causing lack of supply, not due to India’s export restrictions

KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 — The lack of supply of wheat flour in the market as reported by the media is due to a particular brand being in high demand and not due to India’s action to restrict wheat exports to the global market.

“If there is a supply disruption, it may be because of the high demand for a certain brand and because of that it runs out quickly. We have not detected any shortage of wheat flour in the market, we do not receive any complaint lodged directly to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs . He also explained that so far the lack of wheat flour supply is not critical but the ministry continues to monitor.

He said the country recorded consumption of subsidised wheat flour of 100,000 metric tonnes a year while non-subsidised around 192,959 metric tonnes.
