🏆 England 🇬🇧 vs Argentina 🇦🇷 – More Than Just a Football Match!
Whenever England and Argentina meet on the football field, the rivalry is not just about sport—it is also linked to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) dispute, an important topic for UPSC.
📍 Falkland Islands
• Located in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 500 km east of Argentina.
• Administered by the UK since 1833.
• Argentina claims the islands as its sovereign territory and refers to them as Islas Malvinas.

• Argentina occupied the islands on 2 April 1982.
• The UK launched a military operation and regained control after a 74-day war.
• Around 900 personnel from both sides lost their lives.

In their latest article, Ashok Gulati, Ritika Juneja, and Purvi Thangaraj trace this surplus to three interlinked policy distortions: open-ended MSP procurement, with several states offering bonuses above the MSP; free electricity and heavily subsidised urea.
Instead of addressing these underlying distortions, the government's response has been to divert surplus rice to ethanol production, supplying rice to distilleries at Rs. 23/kg despite FCI's economic cost of about Rs. 44/kg on the justification that it is broken and damaged rice.
The authors also highlight the environmental costs of the current policy framework, including the use of ~ 4,000 litres of water to produce one kilogram of rice, high methane emissions from paddy cultivation, and nitrate contamination of groundwater associated with serious health risks.
To address these challenges, the authors recommend capping state procurement at 40% of production, discontinuing state MSP bonuses, limiting free PDS supplies to the most vulnerable households, shifting ethanol production towards maize, and replacing fertiliser subsidies with direct income suppor
