International demand for both rice and wheat has increased, says Goyal

The Centre has asked the States to increase the sowing of paddy in the wake of reports that there is a decrease in its sowing. At a conference of State Food Ministers on food and nutrition security of India held here on Tuesday, Union Minister of Food and Public Distribution Piyush Goyal said the international demand for both rice and wheat has increased and asked the States to increase the sowing of paddy in this kharif season.

The Centre’s data says that paddy has been sown on 43.45 lakh hectares till July 1, which is 27.05% less than last year’s sowing of 59.56 lakh hectares during the same period of 2021. “We request the States to increase the sowing of rice,” Mr. Goyal said. He added that when wheat sowing begins in October during the rabi season, the States should increase the sowing as wheat’s demand has increased globally.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat governments urged the State not to replace wheat with rice. Gujarat Food Minister Nareshbhai Patel and Uttar Pradesh’s Minister of State for Food & Civil Supplies Satish Chandra Sharma urged the Centre to reconsider the decision to replace wheat with rice. “In areas like Saurashtra, people prefer wheat to rice. The Centre has assured us they will consider replacing rice with ragi and other millets,” Mr. Patel told The Hindu. Kerala Food Minister G.R. Anil said the State had requested increased rice allocation.
