Although India has always played the role of a big exporter in the international grain market, with the severity of the global food crisis, India can only choose to restrict its grain exports, because only by restricting its grain exports can India's food security be guaranteed.
1. India restricts grain exports to ensure the stability of its grain supply. After exporting a lot of grain, India can indeed earn a lot of foreign exchange through grain export, but at present, earning foreign exchange is not what India needs to do most. Because with the severe famine in the world, food has become a very tight product. If we want to ensure the stability of domestic food supply, India must restrict food exports.
Second, Indian restrictions on food exports are aimed at avoiding food shortage in China. As India is a country with a large population, once there is a serious food shortage in India, it will inevitably bring very terrible consequences, and may even lead to serious chaos throughout India. In order to avoid a series of effects caused by food shortage, India will reduce food exports by raising tariffs. Only in this way can India avoid all kinds of food crises.
Third, India restricts grain exports to increase the security of domestic grain reserves. We must know that the international food crisis cannot be effectively solved in a short time. If we don't want to have food shortage, we should greatly increase the domestic food reserves. Because only by ensuring the safety of domestic grain reserves can we avoid a serious food shortage in India. We should know that once a grain shortage occurs in a big grain exporting country like India, it is impossible to effectively solve it by buying grain.
