And the government purchase food grains where there is surplus productio

Answer 2

It is the stock of food grains particularly wheat and rice which the government procures through the Food Corporation of India(FCI). The FCI purchases these food grains directly from the farmers where they are in surplus. The food grains thus purchased by the FCI are kept in big granaries and are called Buffer Stock. Maintaining Buffer Stock is a step taken by the government in order to ensure food security in the country. The food from the Buffer Stock is given to the poor at a price lower thane the market price. Thus food security is ensured.
