To strengthen MSP operations and distribution of foodgrains, strengthening of storage facilities is essential. However considering higher land and construction cost for warehouse construction, mere rental income is not remunerative. Alternate remunerative business model to create infrastructure in small villages and towns needs to be promoted. Private APMC could be one of the models. NAFED/FCI and other procurement agencies do not have adequate infrastructure to carry out MSP operations.(1/2)

FCI and fixing minimum procurement price by govt are twin serious problems.these are results of shortsighted socialist policies and have only abetted in food wastages,unbridled siubsidies for vote bank politics and inefficiencies.It should be a very easy task to study the practices in vogue in major agricultartural countries and adopt the system that will give optimum solution to us.There is no need to Barbour a feeling that India is special and try to reinvent the wheel.Scrap in 5 yrs FCI/MSP.

1. Build warehouses to stop wastage. 2. Have better coordination b/w state & center to optimize the supply chain. 3. Like private sector decide on some KPIs(Key performance indicators) for each official and link their salary / perk to their performance on these KPIs. This will encourage good performance 4. No free ration instaed transfer subsidy to their accounts or give them food coupons (valid all Dhabas / restaurants etc) 5. Loop in Gurudwaras to provide free food 3 times a day (support them)

All procurement operations are infested with corruption, negligence and indifferent attitude of staff from top to bottom as there are nor stringent and true political monitoring. Lot of implementable technologies are there with R&D agencies for storage and distribution which was not at all implemented due to lack of political will. If the top is clean and motivated entire stream gets clean ,motivated and feel less jealous and concentrate on their profession with full pride and enjoyment.

There Must be Rungis Market like in paris, where farmers sell there product directly. This market should not under FCI. It should be directly controled by GOI.

Storage and Distribution network should be well connected and evenly spread out. Grain storage be aligned based on the preferred grain consumption in specific areas. Like storing a lot of wheat in Chennai or coastal region may not make sense.

Disinfect the grains before bulk storage using scientific treatment like irradiation, Fumigation etc. Store the grains in drier places not condusive to insect/ rodent infection, close to bulk carriage network like Railways. Reduce maintenance damages by bundling Grain sacks into pallets for more efficient storage and movement. Minimize Manual intervention by deploying mechanical tools/ machines to handle bulk storage, movement and distribution until the last mile is reached.
