Food Grain Disposal: Issuable vs Non-Issuable

The document discusses the Food Corporation of India's (FCI) system for disposing of food grains. It outlines the classification of stocks as issuable or non-issuable and the criteria for each. Issuable stocks can be distributed under public distribution systems and welfare schemes if they meet specifications. Non-issuable stocks that exceed limits may be used for industrial purposes, manure, or dumping. The document compares FCI's standards to those of major nations and concludes that while the current system works fairly well, adopting stricter disposal policies could impact farmers' and consumers' rights.
