As we all know, under the influence of the new crown epidemic, a large number of people in India have been in a state of famine. But the people of the country do not have enough to eat, but India still insists on selling grain abroad. According to the Southern Daily, India was "humiliated" by the EU27 after exporting rice, accusing Indian products of being unqualified. Against this backdrop, the Indians refrained from doing so, refuting the EU's allegations and calling it a conspiracy and a denigration of India.
After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the situation in India was out of control for a while. Due to the shortage of materials and wards, many people have no chance to get treatment after infection, resulting in a large number of people dying on the street or at home. The long-term spread of the epidemic has made India's economy worse, and the normal life of Indians cannot be maintained.
According to the survey, a large number of Indians, including children, are currently in a state of famine and have a significantly lower health index than normal. According to Indian media reports, in the latest hunger index ranking, India ranked 101st, belonging to the severe famine countries. It is conceivable that once the epidemic continues, more Indians will be in trouble. This scene has attracted the attention of international organizations, and all parties are calling for certain humanitarian assistance to India.
However, India itself is not in a hurry or panic that its own people are running out of food, and insists on selling domestic grain abroad, with the purpose of exchanging grain for money. Unfortunately, the export business is not going well. After exporting rice, India was "humiliated" by the EU-27 countries because it was found that India's food exports were adulterated with illegal products.
The European Union Food Association issued a statement that genetically modified rice was found in grain exported from India to the European Union, the United States and other regions. Subsequently, the US company recalled some of the related products from eu-state countries, saying that it questioned the use of genetically modified rice flour in the batch.
You know, India is counting on exporting grain to make money, and isn't this a trouble that cuts off the back road for Indians? So the Indians were provoked and stopped picking.
India has refused to admit the EU's allegations
India hastened to speak out, saying that the EUROPEAN Union smeared Indian rice, saying that this was slander and wanted to slander India's image as the world's largest rice exporter. According to statistics, India has exported 8.6 billion US dollars of rice since last year.
India's Ministry of Commerce clarified that GM rice production is illegal in India and that they will not do so. At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce also said that experts from relevant institutions have launched an investigation. The Indian government said the genetically modified rice found in the EU was likely to be cross-contaminated because the rice was processed in other products at EU factories.
Ironically, India is now unpleasant at home and abroad, foreign countries dislike Indian rice is not qualified, and the domestic masses are accusing the government of only knowing how to make money, regardless of whether its own people are alive or dead.
Excess food is not distributed to the poor, but is used to make disinfectant water?
French media reported that after India exported to the outside world, there was still excess grain at home. But the Indian government does not intend to distribute it to the poor in the midst of famine, but plans to distribute these products to the distillation industry and then make disinfectant water. Although this is done to alleviate the shortage of disinfectant water in hospitals, it is also a means to control the epidemic, and the masses can understand this. But what everyone is dissatisfied with is that under such a serious famine problem, the Indian government is indifferent and has no intention of solving the problem. The epidemic has already claimed the lives of a large number of Indians, so why should the government allow famine to take away some of the poor?
Indian experts explained that the government's delay in distributing food to the poor is actually a cost issue. Now Indian food companies are buying grain from farmers at low prices, and the government wants to reduce spending.
