Wheat futures on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange ended over 1% higher today due to talks that the Centre may announce a bonus of 200 rupees per 100 kg over for procurement in 2018-19 (Apr-Mar). This bonus, if it is announced, will be over and above the minimum support price of 1,735 rupees per 100 kg.
