The central government on Friday said it is closely monitoring the prices and availability of essential food commodities to ensure affordability to consumers and maintain a stable price regime.<\/p>\n
Measures like incentivising domestic production and import and export policies to ensure the overall availability and affordability of essential food commodities are being taken up.<\/p>\n
“The Centre is taking pre-emptive and timely decisions to maintain price stability in the interest of consumers and farmers,” according to a statement issued by the Food Ministry.<\/p>\n
The production of pulses and onion in the 2024-25 crop year (July- June) is estimated to increase over the last year due to good monsoon rains and favourable weather conditions.<\/p>\n
The tur production is estimated to be 35.02 lakh tonnne in 2024-25, 2.5 per cent higher than the previous year’s production of 34.17 lakh tonne.<\/p>\n
The agriculture ministry has issued sanctions for the procurement of tur.<\/p>\n
Kharif and late Kharif onion production has been estimated to be good on account of higher sowing.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the rabi onion sowing has been progressing well.<\/p>\n
Food inflation moderated in December 2024 to 8.39 per cent from 10.87 per cent in October.<\/p>\n
