1 139 CHAPTER V DEMAND VERSUS SUPPLY OF FOOD GRAINS IN INDIA: FUTURE SCENARIO To project the future food security scenario of India is the objective of this chapter for which future demand and supply of food grains have been estimated on the basis of past performance. The estimation of plausible future food scenario is fraught with well known uncertainties and problems, but the trends and projections of demand and supply of various important food items help policy makers to take informed policy decisions relating to food security and food self sufficiency situation of the country which justify the need of the study. 5.1: Per Capita availability of Food Grains: In the pre reform period the growth of agriculture was not so impressive. In this time period the population and income grow at the fast rate. But the food production was not able to keep pace with it and it is the main reason of declining net per capita availability of food grains. Figure: 5.1 shows the trends in per capita food consumption since 1991: This shows a continuous declining trend. The annual per capita net availability of food grains has been falling steadily during reform period. If we consider the five year moving average from 1991 to 2012(Figure: 5.2) the figures decline every five year without exception from kg/per year in 1991 to kg/ per year in The cereal per capita availability declined from 171 kg/ per annum in 1991 to kg/ per annum in In the decade of 2001 to 2011 the population of India has increased per cent. This decade also witnessed the good production growth in cereals as compare to to , but still the per capita consumption of all the food grains is declining. It is clear from above analysis that the main food grain demand pusher (population and per capita income), are growing faster than domestic production of food grains. The per capita cereals has declined by 12.8 percent (from 171 kg to kg) in time period from to and by 3.6 percent (from kg to kg) in to The superior cereals rice and wheat, which are the main constituent of countries food security, their
2 140 per capita availability also declined over the period. The per capita availability of rice declined by 14 percent (from 80.9 kg to 69.4 kg) since 1991 and the wheat net per capita availability declined by 3.8 percent (from 60 kg to 57.7kg) during this period. The net per capita availability of pulses shows no change form to In the decades of nineties the production of pulses decline so the per capita availability 10.6 kg per year in 2003 from 15.2 kg in After 2007 it showed increasing trend because of special effort of government under NFSM which raised the production of pulses in the country. In 2012 the pulses net availability again increased to the level of 1991 i.e The net availability of food grains during the period of 1991 to 2012 decline by 11 percent and by 1 percent from 2001 to This negative trend in per capita production and availability of food grains had appeared in early 1991 and continues since then. So it shows that country is not able to keep pace with demand.

In consequences of rising demand of food grains due to the factor like increase in population, rise in per capita income create a pressure of rising price in economy. After food price increase drastically (Table: 4.1). The rising pressure of world food demand and supply shocks also contributed in rise in prices of food grains. Table: 4.1 show the rate of inflation of Whole-sale Price Index from to Most of the time food grain inflation remains above the acceptable level of 4 percent. The year , and faced the prominent rise in prices. Pulses which are the main source of protein of low income household face major burn of rising prices. In the pulses witnessed the 31.6 percent of growth in prices and 19.6 percent in The household with low income are more vulnerable to these rising prices and affect their food security by affecting their access to food grains. In India food expenditure constitute 38.6 percent of total household expenditure, so the rising price because of supply bottlenecks has serious impact upon country food security.

With the robust economic growth, rising population, where agriculture still a gamble of monsoon; policy makers always face tough question like: what will be the food demand in future? Will India be able to feed its growing population or it will it have to depend on large amount of imports? So study projecting of food demand and supply is always like a light house that will guide their path in making appropriate policies. There is number of studies which projects future food grain demand and supply. Some of the well known studies of demand and supply projection of food grains are showed in Table: 5.2 and 5.3. The demand and supply projections are different for every study because of different assumptions made about the parameters on which demand and supply depends. The estimates for cereal demands range from million tons (Rosegrant et.al., 1995) 1 to million tons (Bhalla, 2001) 2 in It can be assumed from those studies the demand that on an average the food grain demand will range around million tons. The demand for food grains range from 281 million tons to 296 million tons. On the other hand supply projection for the country range from to million tons for cereals and 296 to 24 million tons for food grains. These studies show India hardly meets its food
5 143 demand even in some cases supply can fall shorts of total food demand. This can be a major implication for the food security of country. During the period from 1991 to 2007 agriculture growth shows a declining trend in India. Most of these studies conducted on the basis of this time period. In 11 th FYP plan agriculture get more coverage and there were improvement agriculture production trends. It can be hoped there will be improvement in future food grain supply.

6 Demand Forecast: Forecasting of food grains demands for India has been done on the basis of two techniques; Normative Approach and Absorption Approach. Besides direct demand, there is also an important component of total demand which includes seed, feed, industrial uses and wastage, and has been termed as indirect demand. Conventionally, the indirect demand is assumed to be 12.5 per cent of the total food grain production; an assumption being used since 1950s for all official estimates Normative Approach: The normative approach is based on the requirement of food and nutrient contents of balanced diet for moderately active person or for sedentary life style. The National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad has prescribed the normative requirement per capita per day for different life styles. As per NIN (ICMR2010) the recommended dietary allowance for Indian with moderate and sedentary life style are as following for food grains: Table: 5.4 Recommended Dietary Allowance for Indian of Different Life Styles (kgs/year/per capita) Food Items Annual per capita Requirements for Moderate Life Style Annual per capita Requirements for Sedentary Life Style Cereals 146 kg 122kg Pulses 29.2 kg 25 kg Edible Oils 10.5 kg 9 kg Source: Multiplying the per capita consumption by the projected population of each of the year gives the total requirement for human consumption. Total Domestic Demand = (Annual per capita Consumption * Population) + SFW. This approach also assume short term static Behaviour in Consumption, i.e. increase in income level has no effect on consumption. The demand projection based on the recommended diet for sedentary life style is shown in Table: 5.5 after adjusting it with SFW ratio it gives the minimum demand
7 145 of food grains for the country in coming decade. The population projection was used given by FAOSTAT based on current census. According to this approach the total demand for cereals will be million tons in and million only for food purposes. This demand increases to with increase in population to million tons in and million tons in Pulses which are very important for nutrition security of Indian population, where more than half people are vegetarian reached to 38 million tons in , million tons in and million tons in That is the minimum demand that the country should meet to ensure nutrition security for its population. The total for food will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in In which net food grain demand constitutes million tons, million tons and million tons respectively for , and Table: 5.5 Demand Projection with Sedentary Life Styles: (in million tons) Year Cereals Pulses Food Grain Source: Based on table no. 5.4, Data for Population taken from FAOSTAT. Table: 5.6 shows the total food grain demand for moderate life style. The total food grain demand for moderate life style is greater than the food demand under sedentary life style a food requirement for moderate life style is higher compare to sedentary life style. The total cereal demand in will be million tons and million tons net cereal demand. The net cereals demand increase to million tons in and total cereal demand will be million tons. In the total cereal demand increases to million ton. The pulses demand will be million in which increase to million tons in The total food grains demand according to recommended diet will be million tons in and million tons consist of net food grain demand. Food grains
8 146 demand will increase to million tons in In the total food grain demand will be million tons, and net food demand will be million tons according to normative approach. Table: 5.6 Demand Projection with Moderate Life Style: (in million tons) Year Cereals Pulses Food Grain Source: Based on table no. 5.4, Data for Population taken from FAOSTAT. The Food and Agriculture Organisation recommend the 440 gm of food grain per day for active and healthy life and ensure food security in India 8. The FAO dietary recommendation (160kg per year) falls within the range of dietary recommendation given by NIN for sedentary lifestyle (147 kg per year) and moderate lifestyle (175.2 kg per year). So, if we apply normative approach on FAO recommendation to find food demand, it will provide more balance picture. According to FAO norms the food demand will be million tons in With the growing population this will reached to million tons in and million tons in This is the minimum food grain requirement for country to ensure food security at national level Absorption Approach: The second approach of estimating demand is absorption approach. The biggest benefit of this approach is, there is no need to make any assumption seed, feed, wastage and industrial use and there is no reliable estimates regarding SFW. The absorption in economy includes human consumption, animal feed, seed, industrial use, wastage and any change in private stocks with traders, farmers and household. Actual demand absorption of a commodity in a particular year is estimated by addition of production and net imports minus change in government stocks. Normally the absorption has smooth behaviour, but many time it fluctuate due to change in
9 147 especially related with the private sector stocks affects the total absorption in year 9. To estimate the future food demand the annual absorption since to annual absorption data had been taken. Over the years the absorption of major food grains shows increasing trends. The total absorption of food grains was million tons in this increase to million tons in Cereals absorption increase to 161 million tons in and increase to million tons. The absorption of rice and wheat increases to 90.5 million and 82.5 million tons in from 75.6 million tons and 59.4 million tons. Pulses absorption increases to 20.5 million tons in from 12.3 million tons. Table: 5.7 Annual Absorption of Food Grains YEAR RICE Wheat Coarse Grain (in million tons) Cereals Pulses Food Grains Source: Planning Commission Report of Working Group on Food Grains
10 148 The absorption per year shows the increasing trend in table: 5.7. It can be assumed in normal conditions if population is increasing the absorption per year will also increase. There is some fluctuation in these trends; this is due to change in the stock with government and private traders. The projection of future food grain demands has been done different alternative scenario. First simple trend has been extrapolated to find the future demand. But, to smoothen the fluctuation three year and five year moving average has been calculated and corresponding growth rates has been estimated. The food grain demand was projected on the basis of point to point CAGR after taking different base year scenarios. Table: 5.8 show the projection of total demand of rice in coming decade. If we simply follow the absorption trend of rice consumption give in Table: 5.8 the rice demand will be around 97.6 million tons in which increase to 105 million tons in The demand for rice in ranges from 105 million tons to million tons under alternative scenario. The projection using exponential trends gives highest projection. If we calculate rice demand using three year moving average; the compound annual growth rates of absorption comes 0.92 percent. Taking the average of as base year, the estimates for rice demand comes million tons for , million tons for and million tons for If we take five year moving average of absorption of rice then the CAGR was observed 1.1 percent and which gives the projection of demand million tons in The rice demand will be million tons in and million tons in using this scenario.

11 149 Table: 5.9 observed the future demand projection for wheat. The demand for wheat in ranges million tons to million tons. Simple trend analysis shows that wheat demand will be in , million tons in and million ton in Exponential trend slightly overestimated the demand in comparison of other alternatives. This trend shows the wheat demand will be million tons in and million tons in The estimates of wheat demand calculated on the basis of three year moving average shows the demand will be million tons in The CAGR for three year moving average of absorption comes 1.5 percent, with the base year consumption 78.5 it shows that it will increase to in The estimates based on five year moving average, with 1.4 percent CAGR, shows wheat consumption will be million tons in and million tons in Table: 5.9 Wheat Demand Projections (million tons) Year Trend Exponential 3 MA 5 MA Trend Source: calculated from Table: 5.7 With the improvement in economic condition the consumption of coarse grain has been down but they are still play important role ensuring food security at local level. In recent decade there is increase in demand for coarse cereals because of increase in their industrial uses. The estimates show that the demand will be around 41 to 43 million tons for food grains in The projection based on three year moving average with 0.84 percent annual growth rate will be million tons in and million tons in Five year moving average of absorption with 0.89 annual growth rate estimate coarse grain demand million tons in , million tons in and million tons in

According to simple trends basis the total cereal demand will be million tons in , million tons and million tons in Based on three year moving average with 1.2 percent of annual growth rate the demand for cereals will reached to million tons in , million tons in and million tons in The five year moving average with 0.96 percent annual growth the demand will reach to million tons in and million tons in Table: 5.11 Total Cereals Demand Projection (million tons) Year Trend Exponential 3 MA 5 MA Trend Source: calculated from Table: 5.7 The pulses consumption will rise with the increase in per capita income. The pulses demand will range from to million tons in ; this will reach around 24 to 26 million tons in The exponential trend shows the demand for
13 151 pulses will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in The three year moving average taking average of to as base year with 1.7 growth rate the absorption of pulses will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in With five year moving average, CAGR was observed 1.4 percent and estimates for total pulses demand comes million tons for and million tons for Table: 5.12 Pulses Demand Projection (million tons) Year Trend Exponential 3 MA 5 MA Trend Source: calculated from Table: 5.7 The projection for total food grain demand will also made using alternative scenario. In the food grain demand will ranges between million tons to million tons, this will ranges between million tons to million tons in It can be safely assumed the food grain demand will be around 280 million tons in With three year moving average total food grain demand comes million tons for , million tons in and million tons in , observing 1.3 percent of annual growth rate. The estimates for total food grain demand comes million tons for , million tons for and million tons for , by taking five year moving average.
14 152 Table: 5.13 Total Food Grain Demand Projections: Year Trend Exponential 3 MA 5 MA Trend Source: calculated from Table: Food Grain Supply Projection: The future food grain supply of India is projected on two methods. The first simple business as usual approach the by fitting simple linear regression equation as under: Y i = a + bt i Simple regression estimates on time as explanatory variable from to has been extrapolated to find the future supply. This approach assumed future movement in data series is determined by the past pattern embedded in the series and past trend will continue in future also. The second approach based upon simple The second approach based on simple production function approach i.e. Production = f (Area, Yield) Production= Area * Yield To project the future supply average annual growth rates of area and yield was calculated and on the basis of growth rate future area and yield of particular crops was estimated and this estimated area and yield was used to project the future food grain supply. This approach assumed the current increase in productivity growth will remain in future also, and area expansion will also take place. Table: 5.14 shows the future supply of food grains in India. Rice and wheat are the main cereals, on which India food security depends. The production of rice based on the production trend from to shows that the rice supply will be around million tons in , million tons in and
15 If the growth rates of area and yield are calculated for this period the growth came percent for area and 1.3 percent for yield. It shows that the further area expansion is not possible and the increase in future supply will depend upon yield growth. On the basis of yield and area growth the supply of rice comes million tons for , million tons for and million tons in The supply of wheat based first method shows that the wheat production will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in (Table: 5.14). The wheat area registered the average annual growth 0.85 percent and yield growth rate was observed 1.13 percent by assuming triennium ending as base year the wheat production will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in If we assume no further area expansion will not be possible the wheat production will be million tons in and million tons in The supply of coarse cereals will be around million tons in and million tons in , this will reached to percent in With the advent of green revolution the importance of coarse cereals declines. The area under coarse cereals registered negative growth of 1.08 percent during the time period from to ; in the same period the yield registered the growth of 2.7 percent. Based upon this scenario taking triennium ended as base period the production of coarse cereals will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in (Table: 5.14). The total cereal production of country will be around million tons in , million tons in and million tons in (Table: 5.14). The pulses production be extrapolating current production trends comes 17.7 million tons in , million tons in and million tons in The area under pulses registered the annual growth rate of 0.38 percent during the time period from to and the yield registered the growth of 1 percent. Based upon these growth rates and taking triennium ended as base period the production of pulses will be million tons in , million tons in and million tons in (Table: 5.14). During the green revolution pulses did not get enough policy importance and their production decline
16 154 continuously. But in they again get the policy focus and under NFSM effort are done to increase the productivity of pulses in low productivity areas. This is the reason during the period from to the area under pulses registered the growth of 1.2 percent and productivity of pulses rise with rate of 2.3 percent per annum. If we take this scenario continue the pulses production will be around million tons in , million tons in and million tons in The total food production of the country will be around million tons in , million tons in and million tons in (Table: 5.14).

The future surplus and deficit situation is predicted by taking average of demand and supply projected from all scenarios. Figure: 5.3 and 5.4 show that there will be surplus situation for two main cereals rice and wheat. In case of rice the surplus
17 155 ranges from 13 million tons to 16 million tons in , 16 to 19 million tons in and 14 to 19 million tons in In case of wheat the surplus will ranges from 10 million tons to 14 million tons in , 5 to 12 million tons in and 13 to 17 million in Figure: 5.3 Future Demand and Supply of Rice Source: based on Table 5.8 & 5.14 Figure: 5.4 Future Demand and Supply of Wheat Source: based on Table 5.9 & 5.14 Figure: 5.5 show the situation of pulses in coming decade in India. The analysis shows there will be deficit of pulses production. The green line in figure shows the pulses demand based on absorption approach and red line shows the
18 156 demand projection based on normative approach. The normative approach gives the minimum requirement of pulses, to maintain the healthy life. Pulses are the key of nutritional security of India. Still India s pulses absorption is very low to recommend diet. This analysis shows that despite the fact India is the largest producer of pulses; it has to depend upon the import of pulses. The deficit of pulses will be around 20 million tons based on the normative approach and 3 million tons according to absorption approach in Figure: 5.5 Future Demand and Supply of Pulses Source: based on Table 5.12 & 5.14 Figure: 5.6 Future Demand and Supply of Coarse Cereals Source: based on Table 5.10 & 5.14
19 157 Figure: 5.7 Future Demand and Supply of Cereals Source: based on Table 5.11 & 5.14 Figure: 5.8 Future Demand and Supply of Food Grain Source: based on Table 5.13 & 5.14 Figure: 5.6 presents demand and supply balance of coarse cereals. The coarse cereals used for dual purpose food and fodder as well. After green revolution period the coarse grains lost area on the account of declining demand due to change in food habits. However, coarse grain uses has increased feed and fodder use in livestock sector. The figure: 5.6 shows surplus in coarse grain production. But it can be possible
20 158 with the increasing importance of livestock sector; there can be increase in coarse grain demand, which can create stress on surplus of coarse cereals. The cereals supply and demand balance is shown in Figure: 5.7. In case of cereals the surplus ranges from 12 million tons to 25 million tons in , 14 million tons to 25 million tons in , this surplus can be around 30 million tons in In case of food grain India will remain self-sufficient and food surplus will range around 20 to 30 million tons in These trends suggest that managing the projected growth in surplus rather than managing any deficit is likely to be the bigger policy challenge for India in the future, especially in the case of rice and wheat. According to the expenditure estimates by NSSO, the share of cereals in total food expenditure is declining with the increase in income. The share of cereals expenditure comes down to 12 percent in rural area and 7.3 percent in urban area in from 24.2 percent and 14 percent respectively in On the other hand the share of livestock products and edible oil is increasing. In case of edible oil India is net importer. This makes a case for diversification of agriculture. With declining cereal demand and in case of cereals production India will remain self sufficient, so there is need to focus more on pulses production and horticulture products. 5.6 Haryana: Future Supply of Food Grains: Haryana is being the granary of country; play important role in securing food self sufficiency. Haryana almost cover 3 percent area of country under total food grain production and contribute around 7 percent of food grain. The major contribution of state is in terms of rice and production. Haryana contribute around 4 percent of rice and 11 percent of wheat in national production. In case of procurement of wheat and rice the Haryana share is around 6 to 7 percent for rice and around 25 percent for wheat. Thus Haryana is the key state, which holds the foundation of country food security firm. After estimating future supply for country in this section we will estimate the future supply of wheat and rice of Haryana. Table 5.15 provides the future wheat and rice supply scenario in Haryana. The first method project the supply by extrapolating the past production trend, the second
21 159 method based on area and yield growth rates. Analysis in chapter three shows that area under most of food grain production in Haryana reached to plateau and there is very minimal possibility to increase production by raising the area. So, the method three assume constant area and supply projection is made assuming that there will be only increase in yield rates. The table shows that the production of rice will be remain 4 to 5 million tonnes in and the share of Haryana in total rice production remain consistent around 3 to 4 percent. The production of wheat reached to 20.9 million tonnes in , if the growth observed from to will remain continue i.e. 1.8 percent per annum for area and 1.3 percent per annum for yield. If there is no further increase in area than the wheat production will be around million tonnes in The share of Haryana in wheat production will be remain stable around 12 percent. The yield growth will be key to increase in future production of food grains. But the yield growth of rice and wheat are not so robust for Haryana. The analysis in chapter four shows that because of inherent structural constraints the food grain production in other states is low. So Haryana and Punjab region will also hold important place in future food grain self-sufficiency. Stagnation in yield growth rates is cause of concern which requires extra efforts on policy and research front.

22 Conclusion: This chapter examined the future demand and supply of food grains and the scenario of food security in the coming decade. After reform period the annual per capita net availability of food grains has been falling steadily. The five year moving average of per capita net availability of food grains from 1991 to 2012 declines every five year without exception from kg/per year in 1991 to kg/ per year in The cereal per capita availability declined from 171 kg/ per annum in 1991 to kg/ per annum in The food inflation also witnessed rising trend in recent decade because of increasing population pressure and supply bottlenecks. This make a case to study the future demand and supply situation of food grains to ensure food security of country. According to normative approach based on the recommended diet by the national institute of nutrition the demand for food grain will range from 212 million tonnes to 252 million tonnes in based on different life style. In the demand for food grains will range from 244 million tonnes to 290 million tonnes. The demand projection based on absorption approach showed that the food grain demand will be range from 271 million tonnes to 287 million tonnes in The supply of food grain for this time period will be around 305 million tonnes. if the demand and supply balance of individual food crops is considered, there will be a surplus in case of wheat and rice. The surplus in case of rice in will range between 14 to 19 million tonnes and 13 to 17 million tonnes for wheat. In case of coarse cereals there will also a situation of surplus. But in case of pulses, which is the major source of nutrition the huge deficit is noted. The gap between demand and supply of pulses will be around 20 million tonnes in The contribution of Haryana will remain consistent in wheat and rice production of the country. In the nutshell managing the projected growth in surplus rather than managing any deficit is likely to be the bigger policy challenge for India in the future, especially in case of rice and
23 161 wheat. There is need to focus more on pulses production which is the need of the day. Every possible effort need to be made for efficient implementation of NFSA 2013 which requires the role of all the stakeholders of food security of India.
