The problem has also increased because with the increase in the price of wheat, the prices of flour have also increased. This is affecting the common man’s kitchen. The central government is engaged in reducing the price of wheat. In this regard, an exercise has been started at the ground level. Central government officials say that wheat will be sold in the country as soon as possible. With this, the common man will soon be able to get wheat and flour at cheap prices.
Sale of flour will start from tomorrow
The central government will start the sale of flour from February 6 i.e. tomorrow. The central government has clarified that cooperative societies like Kendriya Bhandar and Nafed will be able to sell flour at Rs 29.5 per kg. National Cooperative Consumers Federation of India Limited and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India will start selling flour at this price from 6 February. The common consumer will easily get flour at such a price at government outlets. The common man will be able to get flour only at the rate of Rs 29.5 per kg.
Wheat e-auction will be held on Wednesday
To reduce the price of wheat and flour in the country, the central government has decided to launch 30 lakh tonnes of wheat in the market. Central government officials say that every Wednesday e-auction of wheat will be done in different states of the country. For this, preparations have been completed from the level of the central government. At the same time, wheat traders are also busy preparing to buy wheat.
9.2 lakh metric tonnes of wheat sold in the first week
Wheat auction has started in many states of the country. The responsibility of selling wheat from the central government level has been given to the Food Corporation of India (FCI). As per reports, more than 1150 bidders participated in the wheat auction conducted by FCI. About 9.2 lakh metric tonnes of wheat was sold across the country. Soon the remaining wheat will also be auctioned at the level of FCI.
Small traders are doing more participation
The auction of wheat was divided into several categories. For example, the auction was fixed for small and big traders. The highest number of bidders in the first week were in the range of 100 to 499 million tonnes. After this traders were present to buy 500-1,000 million tonnes of wheat. After that 50-100 million tonnes of wheat was demanded. Fewer bidders participated in the larger bid. It can be guessed that only 27 bidders placed bids for the maximum quantity of 3000 MT.
22 lakh metric tonnes will be sold
The central government does not want to allow the consumption of wheat to decrease in the country under any circumstances. FCI will sell wheat through e-auction every Wednesday. In fact, to bring the rising prices of wheat under control, a committee of ministers under the leadership of Union Home Minister Amit Shah suggested selling wheat through e-auction. Later this action plan was implemented. FCI has offered 22 lakh metric tonnes of wheat out of 25 lakh metric tonnes through e-auction. At the same time, a total of 30 lakh metric tonnes of wheat will be launched in the market. Out of this, 2 lakh metric tonnes of wheat will be given to the states, while 3 lakh metric tonnes will be supplied through central stores and NOFED.
