Population is a key factor for many economic reasons but it is distracting when it is more than sufficient and is uncontrolled. The following are the scientific reasons for that: 1 Climate change.

Causes for fall in the INR value are as under: Investors pull out their investments from the economy to invest in other economies due to economic and noneconomic reasons. Cost of output heading to north Population is increasing all the time; the demand for the land is also rising.

Elasticity for meat and fish, although below one, is high enough to cause significant rise in their demand with rising food expenditure.

In an emerging economy, with growing per capita income, high expenditure elasticities of vitamin and protein-rich commodities indicate growing demand pressure for these commodities. The overall aggregate demand including the indirect demand for seed feed and wastage is calculated for the period to , and compared with total supply based on annual production adjusted for post-harvest wastage.

Demand is found to persistently outstrip supply in the case of pulses, meat and fish, and in recent years in case of milk and vegetables Figure 1. Overall, an additional gap of 1 million tonnes in demand relative to supply would result in food prices increasing by 0. Supply side and external factors affecting food inflation: Fuel and agricultural wage inflation and international food price surge. On the supply side, rise in prices of key inputs, including fuel and agricultural wages have impacted the prices of various commodities and aggregate food inflation.

The widely hypothesised link between surge in agricultural wage growth since , and the country-wide implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act MGNREGA in , finds support in the study with a structural break being detected in for wage inflation.

Given the recent deregulation of key fuel prices in India, fuel inflation can potentially affect food inflation as fuel is used for powering machines and transportation. Given rising agricultural trade integration, the surge in international food prices in , and again in , is another factor influencing domestic food inflation.

To take into account the dynamic inter-linkages among food inflation, key input price inflation, demand from non-agricultural sector, and global food price inflation, a Structural Vector Autoregression SVAR framework, using monthly data, is estimated. The study finds agricultural wage inflation to be a universal driver of components and aggregate food inflation.

A panel regression analysis reveals hikes in minimum support prices MSP have influenced inflation in rice, wheat, pulses and sugar. A varied combination of factors is found to drive different components of food inflation.

Rise in cost of production and MSP are the main drivers of cereal inflation, while inflation in milk, vegetables, and meat and fish are driven by input cost inflation and positive demand supply gap. These two factors along with MSP inflation mainly drive pulses inflation.
