Similarly RS Narayanan, writing in Dianamani had raised issues relating to food security that is already weak, likely to be further jeopardised by the FTA

I don't usually go with RS Narayanan's views on many issues. He is telling many right things no doubt but in wrong ways, generating more conflict than clarity. But in this article he had exactly reflected the right fears of well meaning people. We can not have the food security by committing to such exports when our own internal demands are met frugally. The ration quota is hardly adequate and the exports would be committed even under domestic shortages.
The profits would be least and the imports agreed like foreign liquor are least intended to help us, except to help foreign profiteers! The projections for enhanced free trade in food sector are likely to hit the farm sector, already suffering due to govt apathy to alleviate the problems of sorts! The BMS also had rightly pointed out the lack of trasparency on the provisions of a crucial agreement that would impact the nation significantly!
