Government to import to check rising prices: Is it a right decision?

Hello! Are we looking at the big Picture. It is not the non-availability that is the issue. The issue is High pricing. And when we look at the roots. the farmers are not getting any amount of this hike. Why are we not willing to see inside the issue. The middlemen are the ones basking all the margin, ALL THE INFLATED MARGIN. Why can't we check them. If we simply Import the Goods, the Price Mafias still are there in between. They'll eat up all the cream. What will the government do then? More IMPORTS?

Rising price of foods could really be checked by importing foods from outside?i think this could not be the solution.If we will start importing,then import tax will be levied on food prices,then thing will the same as now.Yes you can tell that dearth of food will be over.Bt will it be consumable to all levels of population?Now if govt will think of subsidising on food,then also expenditure of govt will be raised,in that case to compensate it with,income should be raised.In turn it will come on the consumer again,because to incrase govt revenue income tax could be increased.Now still do you think it could be a viable solution?If govt wants to spend more money by importing food,then that amount of money could be utilised here only for harvesting.

It is a short term measure that leads to other problems in future.It is suited for countries not capable of adequate production and for India.They are doing it to hide their face for mistakes done in previous terms related to faulty policies reg. farmers,impex etc.

It appeared on the today's news paper that FM decided to import food items to fight with the rising inflation which recorded 19.5% in November. He said this is slightly  higher when compared to its prevous month. I personally feel that inflation is a within the country issue, import will adversly effect balance of payment position, there by purchasing power of the money will come down, rupee value will come down, but to combat with the present food inflation and to suppot poor, such measure might have adopted.
