Abstract: This paper examines the outcomes of removing the rice subsidies for the poor, particularly those below the poverty line (BPL) using the IRRI Global Rice Model (IGRM), a partial equilibrium structural econometric simulation model. Simulation results show that without BPL rice subsidy, rice consumption per capita and caloric intake would decrease resulting in an increasing number hungry of people in India.
