The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on 8 August 2013 approved the export of additional 2 million tonnes wheat from its godowns. The additional wheat would be traded through public sector trading firms. The proposal for additional export of wheat was proposed by the Union Food Ministry.
