Food Corporation of India

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is a government agency established in 1965 to ensure food security in India. It manages the procurement, storage, and distribution of food grains, mainly rice and wheat, under various government schemes. FCI stabilizes prices, supports farmers by guaranteeing minimum prices for their produce, and ensures a steady supply of food to consumers, particularly through public distribution systems for the economically vulnerable. Its role is crucial in managing food supply chains and combating hunger in India.
