Retail inflation likely to come down in coming months: CACP Chairman

24 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Amid rising concerns over the increasing inflation in the country, Chairperson of Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), Ashok Gulati expects that retail inflation in the country is likely to ease on the back of projected drop in food prices in coming months. The WPI inflation accelerated to a 14-month high of 7.52 percent in November, while retail inflation quickened to a high of 11.24 percent during the reported month, mainly on account of high food prices.

Ashok Gulati further added that vegetable prices will definitely come down and the prices of wheat and rice would also come down, if the government releases stocks. The government should liquidate 20 million tonnes of wheat and rice to contain rising prices as India has huge stocks of cereals. Referring to poor storage facilities in the country, CACP chairperson expressed the need for setting up sophisticated cold storages in the country. The Inflation in food articles rose by 19.93% on y-o-y basis in the reported month as against 18.19% in October owing to supply side constraints such as inadequate transportation system and poor storage facilities.

Furthermore, Ashok Gulati has stressed that processed foods should be encouraged to help the farmers and consumers and also made a pitch for free trade in vegetables with no export controls.
