The Economics of Foodgrain Management in India
Published By: Ministry of Finance on eSS | Published Date: September, 03 , 2010The simultaneous occurrence of high food inflation and large foodgrain stocks in our granaries
has been a matter of widespread concern in India. The aim of this paper is to understand the
fundamentals of our foodgrain market and policy that leads to this situation and to suggest
policies for rectifying this. The central argument of the paper is that, in creating a better
foodgrains policy, it is imperative that we look at the entire system of food production, food
procurement and the release and distribution of food. URL: [http://finmin.nic.in/WorkingPaper/Foodgrain.pdf]
