Correct Answer: U. S. A


Solution : The correct option is the U.S.A.

Under the PL 480 scheme, the Public Law 480 or Food for Peace program, India imported wheat primarily from the United States. This program was initiated in the 1950s and allowed the U.S. government to provide surplus agricultural commodities to other needy countries, either through grants or concessional sales. India was one of the countries that benefitted significantly from this program, especially during periods of food shortages and famines.
