Few days ago I read a presentation in support of FDI (on Dr. Manmohan Singh's page). It cited the following reason for inviting FDI to operate:
1. As per some industry estimates Loss of fruits and vegetable production due to wastage is 35-40%.
- The term "as per some industry estimates" declines to give the source of information.
- Further "Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology, Punjab" has quoted the loss of wastage at 5-18%, which was given as statistic in response to query by the Agriculture Minister of government.
Why the double speak ? and if situation has changed Why not reveal the source of information?
Thanks to Mr. Arun Jaitley for pointing out
