Aggarwal, Pramod Kumar. 1988. Wheat production in southeast-asia - potential and constraints. Outlook Agric, Volume 17 no. 2 p. 49-53

Although some wheat has in the past been grown in Southeast Asia, it is not at present a significant crop in this area.

This article reviews the potential and the major constraints limiting wheat production in Southeast Asia.
