Flour millers are asking the Government to set up a national grains board on the lines of the Canadian Grains Commission to strengthen the wheat value-chain.
The Board should regulate, coordinate wheat operations across the entire wheat value chain, said a resolution at the International Wheat Seminar.
It also called for forming an application centre that could come out with new wheat products. Earlier in his valedictory address, V Prakash, Vice-President, International Union of Nutritional Sciences, called for according priority to food safety and adding value to wheat products.
He also said mills should also be modernised but it should also have a humane touch to it.
With four million meals being eaten every day in India, food products had a great potential in the country, he said.
