Wheat Sold

In a move aimed at controlling the retail price of wheat, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) has successfully conducted 13 e-auctions under the Open Market Sale Scheme (Domestic) as of September 21.

Food Corporation of India (FCI) sold 3.85 lakh tonnes of wheat to bulk consumers in the second round of e-auction, as part of its efforts to boost domestic supplies and control prices of wheat and atta (wheat flour).

IFS officer Parveen Kaswan shared his grandfather's "J Form" which shows the bill of produce sold to the Food Corporation of India.

As per reports in a few regional language newspapers (yes, they still have The Spine), the Union is proposing an increase in the prices of rice, wheat and cereals sold through the National Food Security Act by Rs.7 per kg for Priority Households.

The government has doubled the quantity of wheat to 14,000 tonnes to be sold in open market through auction in the national capital on November 24 in order to check prices.

Accusing Congress of being "arrogant", Narendra Modi today said that despite the Supreme Court court, its government did not distribute the excess wheat lying in government godowns to the poor but instead sold it to breweries for filling "wine bottles".

The Cabinet today cleared the Food Security Bill. The Bill says 75 per cent of the rural population and 50 per cent of the poor in urban India - about 800 million people - will be entitled to five kilos of subsidised grain per month. Rice will be made available at Rs. 3 a kilo; wheat will cost Rs. 2 a kilo and cereal will be sold for Rs. 1 per kilo...

India will be unable to consume or export enough wheat and rice to rein in a record stockpile after another bumper harvest, a failure that means crops risk rotting in fields instead of being sold on world markets to cash in on higher prices.

Facing a lukewarm response from buyers, the Food Ministry is preparing a Cabinet note to reduce prices of wheat sold to bulk consumers in order to boost sales and control rising retail prices.
