"Wheat stock situation is comfortable. We have enough for our requirement and thus, no imports are required," Pawar said on the sidelines of the Assocham seminar.

Wheat output in 2004-05 is slightly lower than 72.11 million tonne in 2003-04. However, industry is estimating the 2004-05 crop to be as low as 69-70 million tonne thereby raising the issue of imports of wheat to meet the country's requirement.
