Shard Pawars Interview
Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar has said that the union government will divert its focus from food grain production to floriculture and horticulture as farmers in India have produced more than enough food grains to ensure food security.
Pawar was speaking at a function organized by the Rose society in Pune on Saturday. Pawar said, "Farmers in our country have worked hard and as a result all government go downs are overflowing. In fact now the government has no space to store food grains. This year India has exported 40 lakh tonne rice, 30 lakh tonne sugar and 25 lakh tonne wheat to other countries. And still we have sufficient food grains in stock".
We have succeeded in resolving the food security problem and now the government is diverting its focus from food grain production. Now India needs to concentrate on floriculture and horticulture. The government will help farmers to establish a chain of cold houses and encourage them to grow more flowers and fruits with international market in mind". "World over the market for flowers and fruits is expanding. In over 600 billion dollar flower market, India's share is minimal. Efforts will be taken to increase this share" said Pawar. He said that India stood second in the list of largest fruit and vegetable producing nations in the world.
