In view of the ever increasing military tension between India and Pakistan, the country’s Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has assured the countrymen that you do not need to panic for food grains. The soldiers on the border and farmers in the fields are ready. Our food stores are complete. Bumper production has been done this year and conditions are also favorable for upcoming crops. He said that the countrymen should be relaxed at any time of emergency or need. We are ready, enabled and committed to country service.
Our responsibility to ensure food security
According to the news, Chauhan said in a program that our responsibility as the Department of Agriculture is to ensure food security. I would like to tell you that our warehouses are full of wheat, rice and other grains. No countryman needs to panic at all. He said that the citizens of the country should be fully relaxed. We are capable, vigilant and determined. Our soldiers are standing on the borders and our farmers are sweating in the fields. This is a picture of new India.
Export of grain
India exported coarse grains worth US $ 2.97 million in FY 2025 till December 2025 and its exports have been increasing continuously from 2020-21. The export of coarse grains has been steadily increasing since the financial year 2020-21. He reported that the export in 2020-21 was US $ 2.60 million, which increased to US $ 2.85 million in 2021-22 and US $ 3.98 crore in 2022-23.
Let me tell you, the budget-pre-document for FY 2025 has been suggested to discourage more production of food grains and to increase policy improvements to increase the production of pulses and edible oils. The country is currently dependent on imports to meet the needs of pulses and edible oils. The Economic Review 2024-25 emphasizes that despite various development initiatives, India’s agriculture sector has further developmental potential which has not been used yet.
