About Wheat (Gehu) — India's Largest Rabi Crop
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is India's second-largest food grain and the primary staple for over 600 million people in northern and central India. India is the world's second-largest wheat producer, harvesting around 110–115 million tonnes annually. The crop is primarily grown during the Rabi (winter) season — sown October–December and harvested March–May.
Major producing states: Uttar Pradesh (33%), Madhya Pradesh (20%), Punjab (16%), Haryana (12%), Rajasthan (8%), Bihar, and Gujarat account for over 95% of India's wheat production. Punjab and Haryana have the highest yield per hectare thanks to Green Revolution irrigation infrastructure.
Uses: Wheat is milled into atta (flour) for chapati, bread, biscuits, pasta, and semolina (suji). India's wheat MSP for 2024-25 is ₹2,275/quintal. Actual mandi rates typically track MSP but vary by quality, variety, and state procurement policies.

Transportation
Fuel prices and road conditions affect the cost of moving produce to mandis.
Export Demand
International demand, especially from neighbouring countries, significantly impacts wholesale rates.
