FCI North Zone:

North Zone comprises 8 Regions i.e. Punjab, Haryana, UP, Rajasthan, J&K, HP, Delhi and Uttarnachal. It
is the largest Zone in FCI having a working of 24447 staff & officers and 31634 labourers against 58104
staff & officers and 64173 labourers in FCI as a whole in the country.

Punjab & Haryana Regions are the major surplus States as far as production/procurement of food grains
is concerned and more than 90% stocks have to be moved to other parts of the country. During recent
years even Rajasthan was self-sufficient as far as its own requirement was concerned but because of
severe drought during last year, stocks were moved from Haryana & Punjab to Rajasthan Region.

Procurement:
FCI procures wheat, Paddy and rice for which the minimum support price (MSP) is announced
by the Govt. of India well before commencement of Rabi and Kharif Marketing Seasons
alongwith specifications. Only fair average quality (FAQ) foodgrains of laid down specifications
by Govt. of India are purchased.
The purchase centres during procurement are operated to facilitate the purpose of foodgrains
from farmers in such a manner that farmers need not to cover more than 10 K.Ms. Purchase
centres are allotted by State Govt. among the procuring agencies i.e. FCI and State Govt.
Agencies. The allocation of purchase centres is decided by concerned State Govt. along with the
share of procurement of wheat and paddy. If the farmers able to get a higher price, they are free
to sell their produce to the traders/food grains dealers. Levy rice is collected from of levy share
from the rice millers. Percentage of levy to be collected in various states & levy price is decided
by the concerned state govt. in consultation with the ministry of CA, F&D before the start of
marketing season. In main procuring states of Punjab, Haryana and Utter Pradesh the levy
percentage is 75%.
In Uttarakhand, the procurement has been decentralized procurement system, the respective State
Govt. purchase, store & distribute to level of their TPDS requirement & only the surplus is taken
over by FCI under central pool.

The decentralized procurement scheme has been adopted to have the following advantages:

i) The over dependence on FCI for PDS supplies of foodgrains will be eliminated.
ii) FCI will be freed from the task of procurement operations under Price Support Scheme
in deficit and marginally surplus states.
ii) Since the consuming states themselves will be the custodians of the procured
foodgrains, there will be fewer complaints as quality and availability will be ensured.
iv) Higher local procurement is expected to reduce pressure on freight movement by rail.
v) Overall increase in the procurement of foodgrains under DPS as local procurement is likely to
get a fill up.

In normal monsoon years, the state is surplus both in wheat & rice.
FCI is functioning in Rajasthan since 1.1.66 and activities of procurement, storage, preservation
of stocks and distribution have been undertaken successfully. The agricultural production in the
state mainly depends on monsoon/irrigation potential which is very low in comparison with the
vast land of the state. The area of Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Kota & Banswara districts is
having canal facility. Other districts mainly depend on the wells and minor irrigation projects. In
Rajasthan the levy percentage is 50%. The main crop is wheat, Paddy and cereals i.e. Bajra,
Maize and Jowar which are not procured by FCI. These are procured by the state govt. In Delhi,
HP & J&K Regions which are non-procuring states. These states are deficit states.
The levy rice fixed by State Govt. in HP 50% and in J&K there is no levy. Though all surplus
stocks i.e. wheat & rice is procured for central pool in Punjab & Haryana, procurement of paddy
is also very important operation which is undertaken on very large scale. In order to extend
support price to the farmers, paddy procured by FCI as well as state Govt. agencies on behalf of
FCI is milled which is itself is a very important process.
Procurement of wheat & rice during the last 5 years is enclosed at Annex.I.

Storage:
Though stocks are generally stored in covered godowns but whenever there is a shortage of
space and in time of urgency, stocks of wheat and paddy have to stored in open and such is
known as CAP (Covered and Plinth). In addition of FCI owned godowns, storage capacity is also
hired from CWC/SWC and private parties to meet the requirement. Details of storage capacity
both owned and hired, by the FCI in North Zone as well as the stock position as on 30.6.2010 in
the North Zone is available in Annexure-III. A perusal of Annexure-III will indicate that North
Zone is having 46% owned storage capacity and 54% hired storage capacity and if these figures
are compared with all India figure, 60% storage capacity is with North Zone and likewise stock
holding %age of North Zone is 63%.

Movement:

To meet the requirement of foodgrains in all states under Public Distribution system and other
welfare schemes and to maintain adequate level of buffer stocks at strategic location, the FCI
undertakes transportation of foodgrains from the surplus States, to dificit States.

North Zone being surplus Zone, the stocks are moved out of Zone to other deficit States of the
Country. Outflow movement is mainly made from Punjab and Haryana States of North Zone.
However, Zone stocks are also moved out of Rajasthan, U.P and Uttrakhand, if found surplus at
any stage. Within Zone, the stocks are moved to the deficit States Viz; Delhi, J&K, H.P and
Rajasthan sometimes to UP and Uttrakhand too. Movement is effected both by rail and road.
Road transportation is preferred for short distance, being cost effective. Movement to H.P
Region is made by road only.

1. NORTH ZONE ACCOUNTS FOR ON AN AVERAGE 99.81% OF TOTAL MONTHLY

FOOD GRAIN MOVEMENT OF FCI IN THE COUNTRY.
2. AVERAGE MONTHLY MOVEMENT: 19.60 LMT.

NOTES APPLICABLE TO THE SPECIFICATION OF GRADE ‘A’ AND COMMON
VARIETIES OF RICE.
 
        1. The definition of the above refractions and method of analysis are to be followed as given
in Bureau of Indian Standard “Method of analysis for Foodgrains” No’s IS: 4333 (Part-I):1996
and IS : 4333 (Part- II): 2002 “ Terminology for Foodgrains” IS: 2813-1995 as amended from
time to time. Dehusked grains are rice kernels whole or broken which have more than ¼th of the
surface area of the kernel covered with the bran and determined as follows:-
 
ANALYSIS PROCEDURE:- Take 5 grams of rice (sound head rice and brokens) in a petri
dish (80X70 mm). Dip the grains in about 20 ml.of Methylene Blue solution (0.05% by weight in
distilled water) and allow to stand for about one minute. Decant the Methylene Blue solution.
Give a swirl wash with about 20-ml.of dilute hydrochloric acid (5% solution by volume in
distilled water). Give a swirl wash with water and pour about 20 ml. of Metanil Yellow solution
(0.05% by weight in distilled water) on the blue stained grains and allow to stand for about one
minute. Decant the effluent and wash with fresh water twice. Keep thestained grains under fresh
water and count the dehusked grains. Count the total number of grains in 5 grams of sample
under analysis. Three brokens are counted as one whole grain.
 
CALCULATIONS:
Percentage of Dehusked grains = N X 100
                                                          W
Where N = Number of dehusked grains in 5 grams of sample
W = Total grains in 5 grams of sample.

        2.  The Method of sampling is to be followed as given in Bureau of Indian Standard

“Method of sampling of Cereals and Pulses” No IS: 14818-2000 as amended from time to time.

        3.  Brokens less than 1/8th of the size of full kernels will be treated as organic foreign
matter. . For determination of the size of the brokens average length of the principal class of rice
should be taken into account.

        4.  Inorganic foreign matter shall not exceed 0.25% in any lot, if it is more, the stocks
should be cleaned and brought within the limit. Kernels or pieces of kernels having mud sticking
on surface of rice, shall be treated as Inorganic foreign matter.

In case of rice prepared by pressure parboiling technique, it will be ensured that correct process
of parboiling is adopted i.e. pressure applied, the time for which pressure is pplied, proper
gelatinisation, aeration and drying before milling are adequate so that the colour and cooking
time of parboiled rice are good and free from encrustation of the grains.
 
 UNIFORM SPECIFICATION FOR INDIAN WHEAT OF ALL VARIETIES FOR RABI

b. have natural size, shape, colour and lustre.
c. be sweet, clean, wholesome and free from obnoxious smell, discolouration, admixture of
deleterious substances including toxic weed seeds and all other impurities except to the
extent indicated in the schedule below.
d. be in sound merchantable condition.
e. not have any admixture of Argemone mexicana and Lathyrus sativus (khesari) in any
form, colouring matter and any obnoxious , deleterious and toxic material.

1. Moisture in excess of 12% and upto 14% will be discounted at full value. Stocks
containing moisture in excess of 14% are to be rejected.
2. Within the overall limit specified for foreign matter, the poisonous weed seeds shall not
exceed 0.4% of which Dhatura and Akra (Vicia species) shall not be more than 0.025%
and 0.2% by weight respectively.
3. Kernels with glumes will not be treated as unsound grains during physical analysis, the
glumes will be removed and treated as organic foreign matter.
4. Within the overall limit specified for damaged grains, ergot affected grains shall not
exceed 0.05 %.
5. In case of stocks having living infestation, a cut at the rate of Rupee One per quintal may
be charged as fumigation charges.
6. For weevilled grains determined by count, following price cuts, in addition to other cuts,
if any, will be imposed.

i. from the beginning of the season till end of August, the rate of cut will be @ Re.
1/- per qtl., for every 1% or part thereof.
ii. from 1st September till end of October, no cut will be imposed upto 1% while for
 any excess, the cut will be @ Re. 1/- per qtl., for every 1% or part thereof.
iii. from 1st November till end of the season no cut will be imposed upto 2% while
for any excess, the cut will be @ Re. 1/- per qtl., for every 1% or part thereof.
iv. stocks containing weevilled grains in excess of 3% will be rejected.

  PRESERVATION:
 
The Food Corporation of India has an extensive scientific stock preservation system. An on-
going programme sees that both prophylactic and curative treatment is done timely and
adequately. Grain in storage is continuously scientifically graded, preserved by qualified, trained
and experienced personnel.
 
Food-grains are stored in scientifically developed storage structures.  Two type of storage have
been adopted i.e. bagged and bulk.  In bagged storage food-grains are stored in jute bags in
covered godowns as well as in open under cover and plinth.  In bulk storage food-grains are
stored in loose form in the mechanical Silos.  Storage under covered and plinth is undertaken as
and when there is shortage of covered and bulk storage.
 
Recently we have started a programme of bulk handling and transportation of food-grains along
with bulk storage with private participation.  Two silo complexes of 2 lacs MT capacity each
with latest mechanization of international standard have been constructed at Kaithal in Haryana
and Moga in Punjab with facility of bulk transportation to the ancillary Silos in other Zones by
M/s Adani Agri Logistic Ltd.  For bulk transportation special wagons have been constructed and
each rake carries approx. 3000 MT at a time from each center.
 
Scientific preservation of food-grains starts immediately on its arrival in the godowns.  Food-
grains are stacked on scientifically developed dunnage material to prevent contact with the
ground moisture. Preventive and curative treatment with the insecticides/fumigants is done
periodically till dispatch/issue for consumption.  At present, for preventive treatment FCI is
using potent insecticides vis Malathion on fortnightly basis and Delta-methrin on quarterly basis
(once in three months).  As and when infestation of storage insects is detected curative treatment
is done with Al. Phosphide immediately.  During the year 2009-10 & 20010-11(Upto June’2010)
following quantities of food-grains were imparted preventive and curative treatment with
different insecticides/fumigants:-
 
1. Sprayed with Malathion 468 lac MT

2. Sprayed with Delta-Methrin 229 lac MT

3. Fumigated with Al. Phosphide 252 lac MT
 
The food-grains are subjected to physical and chemical analysis periodically for the qualitative
aspect vis-a-vis pesticides and insect residues for their confirmation to the standards laid down
under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and their conformity to the laid down
specifications before the same are released for consumption.  We in North Zone have elaborate
testing facilities for physical and chemical analysis in Zonal and Regional Labs and for physical
analysis at District and depot level.  The numbers of established laboratories spread across the
North Zone are as under:-
 
Zonal Lab 1

Regional Labs 8

District Labs 54
 
Inspections :-
 
During storage food-grains are regularly inspected by the qualified and trained technical
personnel to assess the quality and health of food-grains for which the Corporation has an
extensive inspection procedure from the level of technical assistant in the depot to GM (QC) in
North Zone as under:-
 
Once in fortnight, to cover
Tech. Asstt. 100% stock in Storage for

procuring region.
 
Quality of all food-grains during procurement is assessed at the procurement centers and than at
storage points by the experienced Quality Control officials/officers with reference to conformity
with the GOI specifications.
 
Rice is accepted at storage point by TA on 100% inspection and to ensure acceptance of rice
conforming to laid down specifications, following super inspection procedure has been laid
down:-
 
Sl. No. At the level of the % of Test Check
officer
1. Manager(QC) 25% rice consignments accepted by each TA at each depot on day

procurement district of the region are covered once in 3(three)
months .
5. GM(Region) At least 4(FOUR) depots every month spread over at least two FCI

of rice already accepted. Next month different regions should be
covered.

To achieve these objectives, the Corporation undertakes Procurement, storage, movement and
distribution of Central Pool stocks on a massive scale. The North Zone procures almost more than 95% of
wheat and about 50% of rice under levy as well as CMR of stocks procured by the Corporation as a
whole. To carry out these gigantic operations a large amount of capital is required.

Provision of Funds:

The Reserve Bank of India has sanctioned a cash credit limit to the Corporation duly backed by stock
cover and guarantee from Government of India through the consortium of Nationalized and other banks
under the leadership of State Bank of India. The North zone has been allocated a revolving cash credit
limit of Rs.250 Crores from State Bank of India, notional cash credit limit of Rs.135 Crores from State
Bank of Patiala and Rs.4 Crores from State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur. For further allocation to unit
offices during peak season of procurement the cash credit limit with State Bank of India is enhanced up to
Rs.350 Crores as per estimated requirement. Zonal office further allocates revolving cash credit limits to
the bank accounts  field offices in North Zone opened with State Bank of India for withdrawals. The
Regional Offices of Punjab and Haryana maintain and allocate Cash Credit Limits to the bank accounts
