<h1>India Maintains Rice and Wheat Stock Levels Above Buffer Norms, No Imports Planned Due to Sufficient Supply.</h1> The Government of India has no current plans to import rice and wheat due to sufficient stock levels exceeding buffer norms. Over the past three years, no imports have been necessary for the Central Pool. Initiatives like the National Food Security Mission aim to boost rice, wheat, and pulse production, while financial subsidies under various schemes support farmers. The Minimum Support Price for agricultural products has been increased to encourage production. From 2007-08 to 2011-12, rice production rose from 96.69 to 104.32 million metric tons, and wheat from 78.57 to 93.9 million metric tons.
