What happened
Chirag Paswan, Union Minister for Food Processing Industries, stated that Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can strengthen India's food exports and expand its global presence. Speaking at the Bharat International Rice Conference (BIRC) 2026, he stressed the need to move beyond increasing agricultural production and focus on value addition through food processing.
Why it matters
Paswan noted that India has the potential to meet domestic food requirements and contribute to the needs of other countries through these agreements. The push for FTAs aims to help India emerge as a global food basket by adding value to its agricultural produce.
