The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 11 Dec 2023NEW DELHI: The government on Friday stepped up measures to check the prices of food items and increase their availability as it removed all restrictions for import of yellow peas till March 2024 and announced a 50% reduction in the stock of wheat that wholesalers, retailers and big chains can hold at any given time. It also announced its plan to offload additional 25 million tonnes of FCI wheat in the open market.
With the latest decision, import of almost all pulses is free and this comes at a time amid concerns over the fall in tur dal production and progressive sowing of chana during the rabi season compared to last year, though the government is ‘comfortable’ with the stock of chana, moong and masur.
