India's top priorities for the MC13 include securing a permanent solution for its public stockholding (PSH) programme. This programme seeks flexibility in food procurement and pricing, crucial for India's food security needs. The PSH programme is a policy tool under which the government procures crops like rice and wheat from farmers at minimum support price (MSP), and stores and distributes foodgrains to the poor, it said. It added that through a programme called Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, India offers affordable rice and wheat to more than 800 million people, making it the biggest programme of its kind.
