Year-on-year, the stocks are projected to reduce by around 2.3% per year. Back in 2023, the baseline year, the trends set precedence for a declining trajectory in wheat stocks.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of domestic policy changes on agricultural support, potential shifts in consumer demand, climate variability affecting crop yields, and global market pressures.
