That's a fair argument." - Yes. That's my argument. " If you think no one in India needs the paddy grown there then you clearly haven't looked at the figures. 80% of the paddy grown in Punjab goes to different parts of india. So if you're arguing that the country doesn't need the paddy grown by Punjab and Haryana, that's a false argument." - That's not my argument but anyone looking at figures can easily 'figure' out that they are growing way more than the demand. It's not because of no reason that India sells rice, at a discounted rate, to China to feed it's pigs. "However, even that argument doesn't have legs as of now as many of the other states where it can potentially be moved to doesn't have the kind of storage and transport infrastructure that both these states have." - Don't you think that's a moot argument given "80% of rice they grow is transported to other states", as per you. If the states which consume it also produce it, one wouldn't need "storage and transport" at such big scale. And I can assure you there is enough capacity in other states to produce rice. It's not a coincidence that all southern states, WB, Odisha and North east Indian staple food is rice. It's because the geographical conditions are suitable for rice production. Where is the "Rice Bowl of India"? .. Hint: Not in Punjab or Haryana.
