In 2023, wheat losses in India stood at a certain value. Moving into 2024, the forecast projects wheat losses to start at 6.17 million metric tons, with slight annual increments each year through 2028, reaching 6.27 million metric tons. This projection indicates a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.48%, indicating a steady rise in wheat losses. Analyzing over a 5-year horizon, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a minor average annual increase.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on wheat cultivation, changes in agricultural technology, and policy shifts in India influencing crop protection and loss mitigation strategies.
