Lambasting India for its policy to deal with the global food crisis, the United States says that the ban imposed by India on foodgrains exports has hit hard its neighbours in South Asia. This is also fueling inflation world over. At a conference organised in Washington on 'India's rising responsibility & partnership in the 21st century, organised by the Heritage Foundation, the US deputy secretary for international trade, Christopher A Padilla also accused India for creating unstable conditions in the market. India has resisted virtually all liberalising proposals in Doha even those proferred by other developing countries, Padilla said adding India's moves may result in the failure of the Doha round. The US said that the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations are not a donor's conference but require economic powers to shoulder responsibilities for reaching a global trade agreement. In fact India to a great extent has become self-sufficient in foodgrains. Indian farmers have so much grains that the government does not have storage facilities for them. America is feeling perturbed as India is not buying foodgrains from the world markets. On the other hand it is in a position to sell the foodgrains. Even if the market is not stabilising then why to blame India? Meanwhile a UN report says that global food aid deliveries have sunk to their lowest levels in nearly five decades with deliveries of wheat and maize facing the sharpest drops with sharp rise in food price around the world. In a new report on 'Food Aid Flows,' the World Food Programme says that food aid deliveries declined by 15 percent in 2007, dropping to 5.9 million tons the lowest level since record keeping began in 1961. The WFP said there was an urgent need to reverse this trend and that immediate action was needed to tackle the negative effects of higher food prices on hunger and malnutrition across the world.
