Govt aims to procure record 40 million tonnes of rice

08 Oct 2012 Evaluate

The government is aiming to buy a record of 40 million tonne of rice from farmers in the ongoing 2012-13 marketing year, since the summer kharif output is expected to be lower. Food Corporation of India (FCI) has kept a target of a record 40 million tonne of rice procurement for the 2012-13 marketing year after seeking advice from the state governments.

Paddy procurement has started from October 1, has reached around 500,000 tonnes in the first week and is likely to pick up in the near-term. FCI Chairman, Amar Singh said that higher minimum support price (MSP) declared for paddy earlier this year will help meet the procurement target in the face of an probable 6.5% decline in kharif rice output to 85.59 million tonne due to deficient rains. The government has fixed MSP of common grade paddy at Rs 1,250/quintal, while ‘A’ grade variety of paddy at Rs 1,280/quintal for this year.

Procurement is anticipated to be higher on the back of growing awareness among farmers about the higher support price. The maximum quantity of rice will be procured from Punjab, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, among others. In the 2011-12 marketing year (October-September), the government had targeted to obtain 35 million tonne of rice and has almost attained that level.
