Foodgrains States - Karnataka ‘US statement on food crisis ill-informed’ Our Bureau Mangalore, May 12 The Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, has said that the average Indian food consumption is one-fifth of average American food consumption. Replying to the queries of presspersons on the recent American statement where India was held responsible for food crisis in the world, he said it is a very ‘ill-informed statement’. “Indians are consuming much less than the average American. If you take food grain and milk, Indian average consumption is one-fifth of average of American consumption. I can turn around and say Americans are eating more. In India, there are people who are poor and malnourished. India has to eat more,” he added. More Stories on : Foodgrains | Karnataka
