Wheat is the lifeline of India's food security, playing a vital role in the country's economy and food culture. As the second-largest producer and consumer of wheat globally, India produces over 100 million metric tons of wheat annually, accounting for around 12% of global production. Wheat is the primary crop for millions of Indian farmers, and its production is crucial for the country's food self-sufficiency. With its versatility in culinary uses, from chapatis to bread, and its cultural significance in Indian cuisine, wheat remains an integral part of India's agricultural heritage and daily life. From the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains to the arid regions of Rajasthan, wheat is grown across the country, making it a crop of national importance.
