Operations -- Storage

Though stocks are generally stored in the covered godowns but whenever there is a shortage of space and in items of urgency, stocks of wheat and paddy have to be stored in the open and such is known as CAP (covered & plinth). In addition to FCI owned godowns, storage capacity is also hired from CWC/SWC and private parties to meet the requirement. Details of storage capacity both owned and hired, by the FCI in the North Zone as well as the stock position as on 30.11.2002 in the North Zone is available in Annexure-III. A perusal of Annexure-III will indicate that North Zone is having 44% own storage capacity and 71% hired storage capacity and if these figures are compared with All India figures, 60% storage capacity is with North Zone and likewise percentage of stock holding in North Zone is 68%.
