The food supply scenario is largely satisfactory but a challenge to India’s food security can emanate from the demand side.
By CSC Sekhar
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a looming crisis for the global and Indian economies. As per the IMF projections, India’s GDP is projected to grow at 1.9%, which has since been downgraded to 0.2-0.5 per cent by several rating agencies. One of the most serious impacts is expected to be on food security. It is feared that the continuing lockdowns across the country, affecting labour and input availability for agricultural operations, coupled with the stoppage of transport networks, will seriously disrupt food supplies. The consequent fall in rural incomes is expected to impact food demand and also the overall economic growth adversely.
