Mr. Jitu Bheda, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association Quote on “Government’s plan to sell pulses from buffer stock to control prices”

Commenting on government’s plan to sell pulses from buffer stock to control prices, Mr. Jitu Bheda, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association said,

"While IPGA welcomes this deliberation, only stocks of Urad which is selling above MSP, should be released from the buffer stock. All other pulses are selling below MSP and therefore buffer stocks of these should not be liquidated. Apart from this, the Government should actively consider relaxing import norms for Urad."
