Allow us to get paddy directly from farmers: millers

The Union government has asked Telangana to promote the establishment of rice bran oil industry to tide over the crisis, as the recent controversy over parboiled rice procurement is set to trigger a political storm in the State.

The Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs and Food has asked the State to develop capacities for the manufacture of fortified rice kernels (FRK), besides setting up facilities to blend the FRKs with the regular rice.

“The State government must facilitate the availability of fortified rice to cater to the requirements of the State and the Food Corporation of India (FCI),” the Ministry said. As it allowed a one-time purchase of parboiled rice from last year’s output, the Ministry insisted that the State give it in writing that it wouldn’t offer to sell the parboiled rice to the FCI again. “If they go for fortification, it will ease up the situation and facilitate procurement,” an FCI executive said.
