AGE CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, MAY 23

With wheat production expected to touch record 90 million tonnes in 2012 against the storage capacity of 62.8 million tones, an Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) will deliberate next week on suggestions of the Rangarajan Committee for export of wheat as a way out to deal with problem of plenty. The Rangrajan Committee has recommended release of additional foodgrains through public distribution system (PDS) and export, which in all would cost about `17,000 crores in subsidy.
A senior official in the food ministry said that the EGoM would meet next week to take a decision on the set of recommendations given by the Rangrajan committee. The food ministry is preparing a note for the EGoM based on the recommendations of the Rangrajan Committee.
