[Goanet] BBC E-mail: India food grain waste revealed

2008-07-07 Thread Sachin Phadte

In the message it was reported as follows: More than 1,300,000 tonnes of food 
grain - worth millions of dollars - went rotten in storage over the last decade 
in India, officials admit.

Now, if one were to analyse the figures, it would come to 130,000 tonnes a 
year. And considering that the production in India is more than 200,000,000 
tonnes, the waste comes to less than .05%. Is there any system in the world 
which would prevent such a wastage?

I personally doubt it, and so have to question the motive for putting up such 
an item on the site.
