The Food Department in Tripura used to traditionally engage transport contractors appointed through a tendering process for moving food grains from the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to state-run warehouses. The food grains were then supplied to fair price shops for public distribution. However, the food department has been frequently deploying its own trucks to meet the increasing demands, as the contractor-provided fleet proved insufficient.
