Indian Wheat Exports: To Be or Not to Be? The trade has lowered its estimate for the Indian wheat crop from 92 MMT or more to 82-85 MMT. The government of India (GOI) is now expected to procure 33 MMT of wheat against the previous target of 42-44 MMT. The Food Corporation of India (FCI) will buy 11 MMT in Punjab, 7 MMT in Haryana, 9 MMT in Madhya Pradesh, 3 MMT in Uttar Pradesh and 2.5 MMT in Bihar.On 1 July 2013, the total amount of wheat in FCI warehouses should be 31.9 MMT, with 26.9 MMT as a buffer and 3.0 MMT as strategic reserves. As of 1 May, FCI warehouses had 11.74 MMT of wheat. If another 33 MMT are purchased -- and even if we take into account the amount of wheat that will be released for export and domestic consumption in May...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
