Food-Grain based Alcohol Facts, Concerns and Action

Facts - Policy (1 of 5) Government Policy: Food Grain based liquid and integrated material Financial Aid Alcohol from food grains - wheat, rice, jawar, bajra and corn Policy to promote only potable alcohol (i.e. liquor ) NOT the industrial alcohol Sell of liquor is permitted within Maharashtra state only Purchase of grains - from Maharashtra state only Total permitted factories - 36

Facts – Policy (2 of 5) Locations of Grain-Liquor Factories

Facts - Subsidy (3 of 5) Rs. 10 for each liter of potable alcohol produced Subsidy upto 50 crores to each factory Already distributed 8.93 crores rupees to THREE factories Particulars: In Marathwada and Vidharbha D+ Zone - Rs. 50 crores or 200% of capital cost D Zone - Rs 37.5 crores or 150% of capital cost (whichever is lowest) In rest of the Maharashtra D and D+ Zone - Rs. 25 crores or 100 % of capital cost (whichever is lowest)

Facts - Quantum of Alcohol (4 of 5) Annual alcohol production capacity - 50 crore liters One liter absolute alcohol ~ 2.2 liters of liquor Liquor production crore liters per annum Liquor production - 30 lakh liters per day

Facts - Grain Requirement (5 of 5) One liter of Alcohol needs 2.8 kg of grains 50 crore liters of alcohol will consume 14 lakh tons of grain per annum

“Vision” of Government For better utilization of bad or rotten food-grains To offer better prices to food grains in the market and to support rain-fed farmers of Vidarbh and Marathwada To meet the demand of grain liquor in European countries Why subsidy? Process of manufacturing alcohol from grain is costlier than molasses by Rs. 6 to 7 per liter Hence Government have offered subsidy of Rs. 10 per litter of alcohol produced

Why Subsidy for Liquor? Subsidy - essential commodities like kerosene, cooking gas, chemical fertilizers, and fuel Is liquor essential? What is the source of the subsidy? Why we common man should shell out for benefits of few grain liquor producers?

Grain Liquor and Food Security Procurement of food grains - from Maharashtra state only Annual food grain requirement - 14 lakh tons The total grain (includes Wheat, Rice, Maize, Jowar and Bajra) production in Maharashtra for year is 101 Lakh tons. (Directorate of Economics and Statistics, India) Total 14% produced food grains are diverted for grain- liquor production Do we have rotten grains of 14 lakh tons per annum?

Self-sufficiency of State in Grains In year Cereal production of Maharashtra lakh tons Cereal consumption of state lakh tons Maharashtra imported lakh tones of cereals to fulfill the hunger of its people. (Economic Survey of Maharashtra ) Maharashtra had imported 20 % cereals and now 14% of our cereal production we are diverting for grain liquor.

Per Capita Cereals Availability Per capita per year cereals availability in India kg (10 years average ) Per capita per year cereals consumption in Maharashtra: Urban area kg Rural area kg 14 lakh tones of grains ~ yearly grain requirement of more than 1 crore population. Instead of focusing on ‘How to increase per capita grain consumption?’ Why Government is promoting grain liquor?

Is India self reliant in food grains? Since April 2006 India is importing wheat In lakh tons In lakh tons India ranks 65th out of 84 in the global hunger index. It is even below the countries like Keniya,Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Cambodia.

Who are Factory Owners? Amit Deshmukh - son of ex CM Vilasrao Deshmukh Pankaja Palave - daughter of BJP leader Gopinath Munde Vimaltai Mundada (ex Health Minister) Govindrao Aadik (MLA - NCP) Sunil Birajdar (ex-Mayor Navi Mumbai, NCP) Dhaval Pratapsingh Mohite Patil (nephew of ex PWD minister) and many more

Alternate Solution of PDS Maharashtra importing wheat and rice from Haryana and Punjab under PDS Government can procure jowar and bajara from farmers instead of huge import Impact Farmers will get good returns Poor people will get local grains to eat. No need to change food culture. (000’ tonnes) Wheat Rice In India, 18 states already started procuring local grains under Public distribution System (PDS).

Actions A state level Daru Virodhi Parishad held on 11th January at Chembur, Mumbai Arround 1200 women from 22 Social Organization were participated Action plan was decided against the policy

How we can protest? Talk with the people Signature campaigning Postcard campaigning Write directly to CM Pass the resolution in Gram Sabha We appeal to Youth, Youth Organizations, Self-Help Group, Organizations of Senior Citizens, Teacher Associations and individuals to participate in this protest.

THANK YOU!!!
