Abstract
Warehouses play an important role in storage of food grain articles in bulk. In India, these are basically owned by Food Corporation of India (FCI), Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and State Warehousing Corporations (SFCs). There is burgeoning issue of the improper storage of food grains now-a-days. In this article, an attempt has been made to study the storage capacity available with Central Warehousing Corporation for the period of nine years i.e. from 2005-06 to 2013-14. The data with respect to storage capacity available and its utilization have been collected and compiled from the annual reports of CWC. Moreover, an attempt has also been made to study the total storage capacity with Food Corporation of India and State Warehousing Corporations along with Central Warehousing Corporation. The study reveals that there has been no significant increase in the storage capacity as compared to increase in the procurement of food grains.
