Indian importers have purchased around 76,000 tonnes of Ukrainian-origin wheat in the past couple of weeks as India increases its wheat imports after a poor crop, European traders said on Tuesday.

One shipment of around 51,000 tonnes was purchased for September shipment and another of 25,000 tonnes was bought for October shipment, they said.

It is possible that more could have been purchased, they said.The deals were in addition to wheat bought by India from Ukraine reported in early September.

"For Indian imports, much will depend on whether the Indian government decides to end or prolong its import duties on wheat," one trader said.
