The purchase was 13.4 percent higher than the previous year and the highest in the last four years.

At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture is now expected to issue a third prior assessment of crops soon. Earlier, it released the second prior estimate in March, in which the wheat production was estimated at 115.43 million tonnes. However, in the third estimate, the government can edit it and make it more than 117 million tonnes.
