Initially, the Centre had amended the order by allowing export consignments registered in the Customs Department\u2019s systems and handed over for examination on or prior to May 13. Addressing a UN \u201cGlobal Food Security Call to Action\u201d ministerial meeting a few days ago in New York, Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan emphasised that the restrictions made allowance for countries that had food security needs, a position <strong>articulated (state clearly) <\/strong>earlier by Commerce Secretary B.V.R. Subrahmanyam. But, more than farmers, it is traders who <strong>stand (Be in some specified state or condition) <\/strong>to benefit from the limited easing of restrictions. From the start, indications of a <strong>mismatch (Not equal) <\/strong>in demand and supply were <strong>evident (Clearly revealed)<\/strong>. Rising levels of wholesale and retail inflation, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and a lower opening balance of wheat (on April 1, 2022) in the Central <strong>pool (any communal combination of resources, funds, etc) <\/strong>for the public distribution system than a year ago were well known. After several parts of wheat-producing States in the north experienced unusually warm weather in March-April, the Government lowered marginally, early this month, the estimated wheat production, from 111.32 million tonnes to 105 million tonnes. As for international food prices, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said that even before the war, prices had reached an all-time high due to market conditions and the high prices of energy, fertilizers and other agricultural services. By May 4, the Centre clarified that there was no move to <strong>curb (keep within limits) <\/strong>wheat export, the reasoning being that this was the <strong>opportune (Suitable or at a time that is suitable or advantageous especially for a particular purpose) <\/strong>moment for exporters to sell in the international market as wheat from Argentina and Australia would begin arriving next month. The higher prices in the domestic market compared to the minimum support price offered by the Government were projected as favourable for farmers. Also, just days before the Government\u2019s decision, an official announcement was made that trade <strong>delegations (A group of representatives or delegates) <\/strong>would be sent to countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, and Indonesia to explore possibilities for wheat export. In addition to Egypt, Turkey had given its approval for the import of Indian wheat, and an announcement had been made that the current year\u2019s target for wheat export had been fixed at 10 million tonnes, three million tonnes higher than last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s decision has faced criticism from the G-7\u2019s Agriculture Ministers. After its <strong>U-turn (A decision to reverse an earlier decision)<\/strong>, the Government should not <strong>persist (last a long time) <\/strong>for too long with its current position of \u201crestrictions\u201d on the export of wheat, as the move seems to have hit the farmers, if reports of a fall in the price are any indication. Lessons must be <strong>gleaned (Gather) <\/strong>from the experience 15 years ago when India took about two years to lift its ban on the export of non-basmati rice, by which time Thailand and Vietnam had moved in to take full advantage. Apprehensions of a food shortage are misplaced, and the Government would do well to lift the \u201crestrictions\u201d <strong>sooner rather than later (before much time has gone by)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2006,97,11,25,15,8,5,1987,2,19,31,49,16,23,1938,1934,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-19431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-delhi-police-head-constable","category-ecgc-po","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-rrb-clerk","category-ibps-rrb-po","category-ibps-so","category-karnataka-bank-clerk","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sbi-po","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-cpo","category-ssc-gd-constable","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 May 23, 2022;
