After sugar, Pawar warns of rice shortage

Amid shooting prices of sugar, fruits and vegetables during the festive season, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Thursday warned of a severe shortage of rice in the days ahead.

Pawar said the shortage of rice would be caused by a dip in production and it could further impact the rising prices.

Already, prices of fruits and vegetables have shot up during the Navratras.
