Wheat dispatches fall to 42 rakes, down from 56 last year

According to official data, only 42 wheat rakes were dispatched from Ludhiana this season, compared to 56 last year.
Each rake typically comprises 42 wagons and carries an average of 26,500 metric tonnes of wheat. Consequently, the total wheat transported this season stood at 1.2 lakh metric tonnes (LMT), down from 1.5 LMT last year.
