Prof. vibhuti Patel on Food Price Volatility, MEDC, September 2017

Though India adopted Policy of Economic Liberalisation in 1991, the agrarian sector was liberalized in 2004 when more than 400 agrarian commodities were exposed to global competition. Food price volatility became perennial problem after that. “Price fluctuations are a common feature of well-functioning agricultural product markets. But when these become large and unexpected – volatile – they can have a negative impact on the food security of consumers, farmers and entire countries. Since 2007, world markets have seen a series of dramatic swings in commodity prices. Food prices reached their highest levels for 30 years during the summer of 2008, collapsing the following winter, before rapidly rising again in the months that followed. Food prices today remain high, and are expected to remain volatile.”
