CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's government has agreed to buy half a million tonnes of wheat from India, Egyptian Supply Minister Aly Moselhy said on Sunday.
An Indian ban on wheat exports, announced by New Delhi on Saturday amid a scorching heat wave that has curtailed domestic production and driven up domestic prices, does not apply to deals reached between governments, Moselhy said earlier.
