Resumen
Descripción
Demand for foodgrains has been estimated for India for the years 2011-12, 2016-17 and 2021-22, by accounting
for the factors like urbanization, regional variations in consumption pattern, shifts in dietary pattern and
income distribution, limit on energy requirement and changes in tastes and preferences of consumers for
food varieties. Indirect demand including ‘home away demand’ has also been considered in working out
these food demand projections. Policy scenario has been presented and yield targets for the years 2011-12,
2016-17 and 2021-22 have been projected to meet the demand of foodgrams in these years.
