 Two nations are facing food problems in our neighborhoods. Our government just banned exports of wheat with immediate effect.

Some time back we opened up the export of wheat. 

The world is facing a huge deficit of wheat due to the Russia Ukraine war and unnatural heatwave in March and April this year.

The production of wheat is barely up to last year. The food security for our own citizens will be under strain.

But this year our farmers got a good price for their produce. Which will help them to meet their expenses with confidence for the next sowing season.

The war has an effect on the world economy as everywhere we are seeing the inflation is above the comfort level of respective central banks.

The cost of food is reaching a level that is unbearable for citizens worldwide. We have a comfortable storage level (each commodity) but the price rise is very high and spontaneous. 

This is an opportunity for us to improve the level of production and its storage.

Right now,  our cost of production is high in comparison to the world.

We have many problems with our agriculture in which our small landholding is a major issue, it not only reduces the quantity of the commodity but also its cost for farmers.

The storage of grain is another issue along with cost realization. The cost of storage is high with crops getting rotten and other issues like rats and insecticide.

If we can address these issues with a holistic approach our export and cost realization for the same will increase.

Right now, we need a clear picture of stock holding, we change it as per inflation at that time.

The stock holding limit changes on paper as per notification of the government but farmers can't sell it with profit as the local administration does not listen or give time to them to reduce holding.

The same is true for stockists of commodity, all of a sudden no one can reduce the holding at a time, and it creates uncertainty for all as no one knows what is going to happen with them. Our administration is still living in the era of pre-independence.

Here, due to this we still do not have silos for the storage of food, which we are losing due to unscientific ways of holding or keeping it open.

The cost of holding grains  increases due to this and also harassment for stakeholders

The agriculture sector needs a whole new approach with clarity on stockholding to save each one from harassment.

Other reforms are underway or will be implemented in due course of time. So the same attention is needed for this too.

Clarity and continuity are important for this sector to thrive and make atmanirbhar in every aspect with a major say in the world market.

FINANCIAL PLANNING REVISITED

Nowadays we are going through a lot of news negative & positive in the market on various aspects with different views. But surely for any individual, it is not that much easier. Life has changed for everyone on the planet, not just a few. It's a new beginning for each & every one. Whether he is just a college pass-out or a retired person. As no one was prepared for it. Everyone has done his or her financial planning priors to this tragedy which is good in that scenario. But a situation like this has forced everyone to revisit his or her financial planning. We Indians have a mindset to follow the same path which we saw others following. Now one or two income source is not going to work. As to get old days required will be at least 2 to 3 years. This means we have to prepare for not only pay cuts for a long time but also job or business loss. Till now we planned for following - Child Education - Child Marriage - Retirement - Home & Car - Vacation -

 Best wishes for "DIWALI". It is the first Diwali post-pandemic that is free from all issues. The annual sales which are based on the present sales figures festival season and projections for next year are dependent on it. The season has other reasons to make things exciting the report in various forums during the same period is also in the public domain. The one of most controversial is the hunger index on which lots of things have been said either in support or opposed to it. Another one is about the pensioner index which is an important one. We are going to see what the hunger index says in the context of our country. The report is based on the gallop report which is known for its business-related research papers. The comprehensive analysis is done by Dr. Vivek Debroy, the chairman of PM EAC, which gives details of the report rejection. One thing, which was raised by analysis is that we have our statics department which works in old fashioned and our reports on different s

 One small piece of news was printed on daily that the gender ratio of our country has changed from more male to more female per thousand. Means 1000:1020, i.e. for every one thousand males there is one thousand and twenty female. It is a very important development in independent India. The latest census which is underway showed the benefit of the campaign which was run by the government and the society together to save the girl child. But the malnutrition and other health issues are still a major cause of concern. Recently we were part of one discussion, namely the financial literacy amongst the female in our country. Generally, it is seen that women are not part of decisions or rather discussions of financial matters. The average financial literacy of women is less than that of means they do not take part in the discussion or they are not interested in the altogether. Our own experience shows the above-said statement is true. As the campaign which the government ran with the help of
