Food Corporation of India reduced wheat and rice price in the domestic open market scheme

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) has announced a reduction in the prices of rice and wheat being offered under the open market sale scheme for registered bulk buyers. Fortified rice, previously priced at ₹34/kg, will now be available at ₹31/kg, while wheat will be sold at ₹21.50/kg instead of ₹22.50/kg.

The decision was confirmed by Manjeev Kumar Goyal, Deputy General Manager of FCI in Chennai. This move aims to make essential food grains more affordable and accessible to consumers. The price reduction is expected to benefit both registered bulk buyers and end consumers. The FCI’s initiative is in line with its efforts to ensure food security and provide essential commodities at reasonable prices.

This decision is likely to have a positive impact on the market and encourage greater participation in the open market sale scheme. The FCI continues to play a crucial role in maintaining a stable food supply chain and addressing the needs of the population.
