India on record farm production
2008-06-01 08:30:46 - More than two dozen countries fear for food crisis in their country and causing riots due to increase in price of food articles.India emerges chief farm producers in the world.
The three-day Food Security Summit beginning in Rome,Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar will share the country's experience at the summit, being organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation to draw a common strategy for tackling the global food crisis and impact of climate change on availability of food grains.
In the summit, which among others will be attended by UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, is being held at a time when global food prices have soared to a 10-year high hitting the poor the hardest.
India's voice will be important as the country has managed to increase agriculture output to a record level of 227 million tons, "as a result of various measures taken by the government to revitalise agriculture."
Procurement of food grains for the public distribution system has touched 47 million tons, said an official release pointing out that the country "has been able to manage food security both in terms of availability and price level in a satisfactory manner."
Besides Pawar, India will be represented by Agriculture Secretary P K Mishra, country's newly-appointed Ambassador to Italy Arif Khan and representatives of Ministries of Environment and Forest and New and Renewable Energy.
In his statement at the summit, Pawar is likely to stress that while prices of food grains globally went up by 76 to 161 per cent, the increase has been moderate in India.
He is also slated to hold bilateral discussions on issues of common and global concerns at the sidelines of the summit with his counterparts from the US, Japan and the Philippines.
Although the FAO invited Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to participate at the global summit, Singh deputed Pawar to lead the Indian delegation.
The FAO summit, which will also focus on climate change, will discuss the challenges facing the world food security and issue a declaration on "required actions" at the end of the three-day meeting.
The declaration, among other things, will focus on steps which could be taken collectively by the global community for taming food prices.
According to FAO estimates, about 85 crore people in the world suffer from hunger and of these about 82 crore will be worst hit by the adverse impact of climate change.
Food riots caused by rising prices have been reported from as many as 37 countries, from Haiti to Mexico.
"Governments, international organisations, civil society, the private sector and other sectors, must work together to address these challenges and to devise appropriate strategies and responses", the FAO said in an appeal to the global community on the eve of the summit.

No site inspection of US military equipment imported to India
United States and India are in talks to join forces on a missile defense system which may ignite arm race to Asian region especially with China.Few call it trapping China at time when China looks for space global order and is resolving border disputes with his neighbor countries and is at its economy boom at take off stage.
India has told the US that it is uncomfortable with the idea of on-site inspection of US military equipment imported for Indian armed forces.
Defence minister A.K. Antony is said to have told visiting US defence secretary Robert Gates that the two sides needed to work around laws that require such physical checks, a highly placed defence ministry source said here today.
Under US law, military equipment transferred to another country has to be verified periodically for assurance of legitimate use. In simple terms, the US would want to ensure that equipment it sells to India is not re-sold or moved to a country like Myanmar on which it has imposed sanctions. India has re-sold British-origin maritime aircraft to Myanmar in the past.
But these hitches would not be allowed to tell on military-to-military relations that both sides concluded were intensifying “satisfactorily”.
“We want to make it clear that there are no hard-line positions. Both sides are willing to meet more than half-way to resolve the issues,” the defence ministry official said.
US and Indian Defence Ministry officials said "increase in military cooperation and trade" was on the cards. With an eye on the ever increasing Indian weapons shopping list estimated to touch 5 to 8 Billion dollars a year shortly, Gates said US wanted to increase its weapons sales to India.
US and Indian Defence Ministry officials said "increase in military cooperation and trade" was on the cards. With an eye on the ever increasing Indian weapons shopping list estimated to touch 5 to 8 Billion dollars a year shortly, Gates said US wanted to increase its weapons sales to India. Major US armament makers Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Boeing jointly lead the American missile programme and have made a number of presentations to India on their PAC-III anti missile system as well as warship borne Aegis system.Noting that India needed an anti-missile defence, the US today talked about the possibility of cooperation in developing such a shield.
"We understand India's needs for an anti-missile shield," visiting Defence Secretary Robert Gates told reporters here as he held talks with his counterpart A K Antony. Stressing that perhaps a joint analysis could be carried out, he said the two countries were just beginning to talk on what India needs would be in the realm of missile defence and "where cooperation between us might help advance that". Nudging India to conclude the civil nuclear deal at the earliest, the US today said "the clock is ticking" and there is an "open question" on whether the Congress will be able to take it up "beyond this summer and September".
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates also made it clear that his country was eyeing Indian defence contracts worth billions of dollars, saying Washington wanted to have a "place at the table" when New Delhi procures weapon systems.
"The clock is ticking in terms of how much time is available to get all the differnt aspects of an agreement implemented," he told reporters here just before winding up his two-day visit.
Gates did not specify any time period by which India needed to take the steps like firming up the IAEA safeguards and seeking waiver from Nuclear Suppliers Group.
He, however, made the deadline clear as he said: "with this being an election year, there is an open question about how long the Senate will be in session beyond this summer and September.
After the India-IAEA Safeguards Agreement and waiver from NSG, the nuclear agreement has to go back to the US Congress for another vote.
Without directly mentioning the stiff opposition by Left parties to operationalization of the nuclear deal, he said the US respects India's internal politics and hopes that the government would resolve the issue in time.
The US Defence Secretary also met senior BJP leader L K Advani, whose party is also opposing the deal, in an apparent bid to seek his support.

US in fix on Pak polls: Musharraf pledged free and fair.
Musharraf, a top US confident "war on terror" ally, vowed to crush any opposition protests against result of the poll he pledged would be free and fair.
Musharraf popularity has eroded as per Poll conducted by BBC and further adds Pakistan citizen feels Pakistan security and stability to be better if president resigns.
In case of any post-election violence, a confrontation between President Pervez Musharraf or the powerful military and moderate democratic forces could force Washington to make a difficult choice on who to back.
"Just about every political player in the Pakistani elections has already declared in words or deeds that 'good elections' are not going to happen," said the Center for American Progress, a Washington-based think tank.
"The United States must be prepared for deeply flawed results and the risk of ensuing violence," it said in a commentary Thursday.
US-based human rights group, Qayyum appeared to be advising an unidentified person on what political party the person should approach to become a candidate in the February 18 general election.
The Human Rights Watch claimed the recording was made during a phone interview with a media person on November 21 last year. Qayyum, while still on the phone interview, took a call on another telephone and his side of that conversation was recorded.
Qayyum, a retired judge who is a close aide of President Pervez Musharraf, is heard telling the unidentified person in Urdu and Punjabi to "leave" former premier Nawaz Sharif and seek a ticket from the party that "will massively rig to get their own people to win".
The recording was made the day after the Election Commission announced the schedule for polls. The polls were originally set for January 8 but were postponed after former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated.
"They will massively rig to get their own people to win. If you can get a ticket from these guys, take it," Qayyum purportedly said. It was not known which party he was referring to.
