This paper counters negative advocacy about the food subsidy, the public distribution system, and farm price supports. It argues that the public food supply chain for market intervention has a favourable impact on the cost-benefit ratio, poverty reduction, calorie consumption by the poor and productivity-led agricultural growth. The paper proposes reforms for the six pillars of the public food supply chain. These include: an alternative poverty line concept that is linked to the minimum &amp;quot;norms&amp;quot; for calorie intake enabling a reduction of the exclusion and inclusion errors, procurement just for the PDS and buffer stocks to be purchased at a farm price that is fully cost-based, fair price shops with fixed and adequate time of operations, &amp;quot;indent&amp;quot; of the demand, doorstep delivery, and so on.

It argues that the public food supply chain for market intervention has a favourable impact on the cost-benefit ratio, poverty reduction, calorie consumption by the poor and productivity-led agricultural growth. The paper proposes reforms for the six pillars of the public food supply chain. These include: an alternative poverty line concept that is linked to the minimum &amp;quot;norms&amp;quot; for calorie intake enabling a reduction of the exclusion and inclusion errors, procurement just for the PDS and buffer stocks to be purchased at a farm price that is fully cost-based, fair price shops with fixed and adequate time of operations, &amp;quot;indent&amp;quot; of the demand, doorstep delivery, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bhupat M Desai (bhupatdesai@gmail.com) and N V Namboodiri (namboodiri48@gmail.com) were earlier at the Centre for Management in Agriculture, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad.

Food Subsidy Concept, Rationale, Implementation Design and Policy Reforms -Bhupat M Desai, Errol D'Souza, and N V Namboodiri

-Economic and Political Weekly   This paper counters negative advocacy about the food subsidy, the public distribution system, and farm price supports. It argues that the public food supply chain for market intervention has a favourable impact on the cost-benefit ratio, poverty reduction, calorie consumption by the poor and productivity-led agricultural growth. The paper proposes reforms for the six pillars of the public food supply chain. These include: an alternative poverty line concept that is linked to the minimum "norms" for calorie intake enabling a reduction of the exclusion and inclusion errors, procurement just for the PDS and buffer stocks to be purchased at a farm price that is fully cost-based, fair price shops with fixed and adequate time of operations, "indent" of the demand, doorstep delivery, and so on. Bhupat M Desai (bhupatdesai@gmail.com) and N V Namboodiri (namboodiri48@gmail.com) were earlier at the Centre for Management in Agriculture, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Errol D'Souza (errol@iimahd.ernet.in) teaches at the IIM-A. The authors are grateful to the referee for comments that enabled a sharpening of the framework and its application to the analysis of the theme addressed. The usual disclaimers apply.
