Fortnightly Foodgrain Outlook |
|
The
Fortnightly Foodgrain Outlook is intended to provide a brief, easy-to-read
update on most recent developments in domestic and international foodgrain
markets and public foodgrain management operations that can be used by
policy-makers, development partners and other food security stakeholders as an
immediate reference for short term planning and decision making. The Outlook
sheds light on changes in domestic prices and imports of rice and wheat, as well
as on international price movements and market prospects of the two commodities.
It also summarizes the performance of internal foodgrain procurement activities
(during relevant periods) and major distribution programs under the Public Food
Distribution System. |

The food situation report, published in Bangla every
15-day by the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU) of the Ministry of Food
and Disaster Management (MoFDM), is intended to make relevant information
available to the policy makers and associated stakeholders for making better
food grain management in the country. It provides arrays of information such as
domestic and international food grain production, public food grain stock,
internal food grain procurement, public and private import, rice export and
public food grain distribution, domestic and international prices of food grain
and so on. In each of this element, a brief note is provided highlighting the
ways things are moving including future scenarios. The policy makers will find
it useful in making pragmatic plan for food management, researchers will be able
to analyze this information and provide policy suggestion for food management
and finally, the civil societies will be able to make better plan for day to day
management of their family budget. |
