PEC is one of the largest exporters of wheat from India, and during 2001-07, had exported more than 5 million metric tonnes (MT). The Government of India had banned exports of wheat for a four year period. Since the lifting of the ban in 2011, PEC has already exported more than 2.5 million MT during 2012-2014. These exports were carried out from the central pool/FCI stocks of the Government of India out of an overall approximate 6 million MT exported by the three PSUs, namely MMTC, STC and PEC. The exports have been carried out from Kandla port on the West coast, and Krishnapatnam, Karaikal, Vizag and Gangavaram ports on the East coast. I
