explain the activity of food corporation of India.
Answers
FCI purchases food grains mainly from surplus states such as Punjab, Haryana and supplies them to deficit states. For example wheat is transported from Haryana, Punjab to Goa.
A minimum support price is fixed by the government of India on which the purchase of food grains is done, but if a farmer gets more than MSP he is free to sell it wherever he wants.
The Purchased stock is maintained in godowns aka depots by Quality control staff of FCI, under which fumigation and other procedures are carefully applied.
Ministry of consumer affairs and Public distribution allocates a particular amount of food grains to Department of civil supplies, Department of education, Army supply corps. Under which they lift their allocated stock in time bound manner.
There is also a scheme called OMSS or open market sale scheme where private parties purchase food grains from FCI, but this sale is done only when stock is surplus and may deteriorate if not processed or consumed.
