NEED AND APPROACH
The storage plan of the Ministry aims at providing the capacity required forbuffer and operational stock of foodgrains to maintain the public distribution system and general warehousing. The broad approach is to provide scientific storage capacity and reduce dependence on the capacity under cover and plinth. The Ministry has also been making efforts to improve the traditional storage practices in vogue at the farmlevel.
FOODGRAIN STORAGE AND GENERAL WAREHOUSING (ADDITION TO STORAGE CAPACITY)
There are three agencies in the public sector which are engaged in building large scale storage/warehousing capacity namely, Food Corporation of India(FCI) Central warehousing Corporation (CWC) and 17 State Warehousing Corporation (SWCs). Over a period of time, sizeable scientific storage/warehousing capacity has been developed by these public sector agencies and they are implementing plans to increase it further. While the capacity available with FCI is used mainly for storage of foodgrains as also certain other notified items.
The total covered capacity available with FCI for storage of Foodgrains including the capacity hired from Central Warehousing Corporation and State Warehousing Corporation was 261.21 lakh tonnes as on 1.3.2005. The hired capacity with the Food Corporation of India was 109.80 lakh tonnes as on 1.3.2005
