Increasing Food Imports will derail "Make in India" story Traditional Approaches can't address Food Security and Inflation Challenges Question: 1. How much FDI coming into India for Manufacturing Sector? 2. How much foreign exchange is going out of India for buying food and agriculture products like Edible oils, pulses, timber, leather, spices, etc?

Why Misleading Policies and Politics over Pulses Crisis?
Why Misleading Policies & Politics over Pulses Crisis? Are political parties ignorant of ground reality or they deliberately misleading the nation? By: Vijay Sardana Updates on twitter: @vijaysardana On 29 th July 2016, main opposition party of India issued a press statement on pulses crisis and also raised issues in parliament on pulses inflation and supply crisis and how country is looted by traders with the support of ruling party. There were very strong words used. In my reply, I am also trying to use the words which should convey the same intensity. By no means I want to undermine political establishments and political people, they play important role in policy making, but when some political representatives from opposition camps, are trying to mislead the public at large for political gains, by defaming whole pulses trade, it is not appreciated.

Imported Edible oils, Imported Pulses and now Imported Maize Is India outsourcing her food security and at what cost? Government of India has allowed import of maize, to meet the growing demand of maize and shrinking supply base to meet the round the year demand from poultry and starch industry. Till last week government and Niti Aayog was claiming India is food secure and we have enough food to meet the demand of people and livestock of this country. Today, India is forced to allow import of corn to control maize prices. Look at the average maize prices in last one year in India: These wide fluctuation clearly indicates that demand supply mismatch exist. Sharp rise and fall of prices indicates that trade is not sure how much supplies India will have this year. This also indicate unreliable data management in the country.
