FCI Uses AI-Based Equipment To Detect Frauds
The Food Corporation of India (FCI) has introduced artificial intelligence-based equipment to detect fraud in its operations, involving millions of farmers and a large network of transporters and silos.
The AI-based grain sorters are used to examine the quality of wheat and rice purchased from farmers, ensuring poor produce is automatically vetted.
The corporation is mandated to buy “fair and average quality” grains that must meet technical specifications related to moisture content.
The AI-based equipment can sort cereals more efficiently, ensuring all consumers receive standard food.
The FCI is critical to maintaining food security in India, buying millions of tonnes of farm produce from farmers at federally fixed minimum support prices (MSP) and redistributing the food to 800 million poor people free of cost under the National Food Security Act.
