FCI showcases modernisation, food security at IITF 2025

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is currently anchoring a major focus on national food security and modernization at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2025, organised by ITPO at Bharat Mandapam. The exclusive FCI Pavilion, themed around the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, is showcasing the nation’s transition toward a resilient, quality-driven, and citizen-centric food management system, reflecting the guiding spirit of farmers.

Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution & New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, visited the exhibit recently and lauded the FCI’s efforts. The Minister specifically appreciated the initiatives promoting the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS)—both small and bulk—which is crucial for maintaining market availability and stabilizing the prices of essential commodities like wheat and rice. His visit underscored the corporation’s commitment to transparency, efficient food distribution, and national food security for the common public.

The Pavilion’s core exhibit meticulously traces India's grain journey, moving from age-old storage methods to cutting-edge, scientific solutions, including the adoption of technologically advanced storage infrastructure such as SILOs. Through informative displays, live demonstrations, and engaging audio-visual presentations, the FCI is showcasing its ongoing modernization of warehouses, digital initiatives for supply-chain efficiency, sustainability measures, and farmer-centric support systems.
