AHMEDABAD, India - Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of wheat were stranded at a major port in India on Tuesday afterIndia, the world's second-largest grower of wheat, last week ordered that traders could not enter into new export deals without government approval.
"However, those wheat-laden trucks that arrived at the port after May 13 will have to return with the commodity," said Mr Om Prakash Dadlani, spokesman for operator Deendayal Port Trust. Between 500 and 700 warehouses near the port were"full of wheat for export", said Mr Teja Kangad, president of the chamber."This has led to a chaotic situation where the truckers and traders are left uncertain of what will happen to the goods. Also, wheat being a perishable commodity, it can't be kept in the open for long,"Mr Kangad told AFP.
