College of Agriculture and Life Sciences 
Prabhu Pingali Professor & Director Tata-Cornell Agriculture and Nutrition Initiative
Agriculture & Food Supply Policies 
Persistence of Green Revolution focus on staple grains 
Poor support for coarse grains, legumes, lentils, etc 
Lack of attention to high relative prices of micro-nutrient dense food – horticulture, livestock products 
High costs of smallholder linkage to organized food chains

Why is producer response low? 
Price supports, input subsidies & R&D biased towards stale crop productivity growth 
Poorly developed market infrastructure for perishable products – fruit, vegetables, dairy & meat 
High skill & knowledge requirements for switching to higher value crops 
High transactions costs for smallholder integration into the FFV value chains

Domestic & International prices for staple cereals – India, 1983 - 2014
Food Security Policies – staple grain fundamentalism 
Conflating food security with a narrowly defined set of staple grains 
High emphasis on price supports & trade distortions 
High cost of managing and disposing “Food Security Stocks” 
 Disconnect between the policy & the food security needs of the rural poor
Donor funding and CGIAR priorities are not consistent with the diet transformation
What are the options for crop- neutral intensification? 
Level playing field for policy support 
Infrastructure investments for transport & storage of perishable products 
Market development – investment in local markets, and reduce transactions costs of integrating into value chains 
Rationalize food stock policies, including local procurement & stocking options 
Delinking individual food security from national staple grain self-sufficiency

Why is producer response low? Price supports, input subsidies & R&D biased towards stale crop productivity growth Poorly developed market infrastructure for perishable products – fruit, vegetables, dairy & meat High skill & knowledge requirements for switching to higher value crops High transactions costs for smallholder integration into the FFV value chains

  • 22. Food Security Policies – staple grain fundamentalism Conflating food security with a narrowly defined set of staple grains High emphasis on price supports & trade distortions High cost of managing and disposing “Food Security Stocks”  Disconnect between the policy & the food security needs of the rural poor
  • 23. Donor funding and CGIAR priorities are not consistent with the diet transformation
  • 24. What are the options for crop- neutral intensification? Level playing field for policy support Infrastructure investments for transport & storage of perishable products Market development – investment in local markets, and reduce transactions costs of integrating into value chains Rationalize food stock policies, including local procurement & stocking options Delinking individual food security from national staple grain self-sufficiency 24
