Food inflation in 2010-11 was persistently rising and recorded at 18.4 per cent as against 12 per cent in the comparable period of last year.

Tackling food inflation should be the key priority of the government and policymakers as it affects the weaker sections of the society. The issue should be tackled by addressing supply side risks through economic and policy-oriented actions and by mitigating risks due to natural calamities. Only an integrated approach would ensure food security on long-term basis.....
