India Bans Wheat Export

I find it interesting that every one of these articles says they're the second largest wheat producer. Which is a bit misleading. They're "only" the 10th biggest wheat exporter.

Not misleading at all. India is the world’s second largest wheat producer.

And how much of that is exported? You know, sold to other countries. You know, the thing they're preventing now as described in the article(s). https://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?commodity=wheat&grap...

If India produced 10x more than the rest of the world combined but didn't sell any of it to other countries, it would be misleading to mention in the context of global wheat supplies that they're the biggest producer.
