Rice, wheat, milk and sugarcane. India is among the largest producers of these agricultural commodities, yet millions still go hungry in the world's most populous country. India may be the world's second largest producer of food based on calorie content, yet the country was ranked 111 out of 125 countries in the recently released Global Hunger Index, which referred to the level of hunger among India's population. as "serious".

India, with a population of 1.4 billion, accounts for a quarter of the world's undernourished and is home to over 190 million hungry people. A large part of the problem lies in logistical obstacles. 'Post-harvest losses' refer to food lost in the supply chain from harvest to the consumption process. Vegetables and fruits expire faster when there is a lack of cold storage, and hundreds of tons of food grains are at risk of rotting in warehouses.

Other reasons for India's low productivity include "inefficient" food distribution systems, erratic and unusual weather, heavy regulations and a lack of education and training for farmers, the ITA said. India's food problem is also compounded by the fact that the growing middle class is on track to demand more food and better quality food as well.

The need for food security has become paramount, it is an issue the government must face as the country's elections approach. India is the world's largest producer of milk and the second largest producer of rice, wheat, vegetables and fruits.

The country says it is "self-reliant and internationally competitive", but in the past year, volatile supplies and price movements for essential foodstuffs have led the government to tighten overseas shipments. India has faced some volatile supplies and price movements for essential food products in the past year, prompting the government to tighten overseas shipments.

In an attempt to curb domestic prices, India banned onion exports from December to March. In October, the country extended the ban on sugar exports that began in September. India, the world's top rice exporter, also banned exports of non-basmati white rice in July.

Prices of tomatoes, an important element in local cuisine, also rose last year due to unfavorable weather conditions. With elections fast approaching, some hope more measures can be taken to help the country's food ecosystem. India will release its interim budget on Thursday.
