Institutional Set up

♤ Set up a wide network of mandis and temporary purchase centers across Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Assam and the other northeastern states. Extending the Green Revolution to northeast has already increases rice production, but farmers are resorting to distress sale getting about 20 to 30 per cent less because of the absence of procurement centers. Thus mandis will cater to their problems where they will get optimum price for their produce.

♤ Invest in setting up a network of grain silos, warehouses and godowns across 50 places spread throughout the country. The public-private partnership model to improve storage facilities is a promising solution

♤ Thrust on food processing industries thereby setting food processing centres across the country.
