The retail supply chain revolution

GDP - 22% agriculture

organised retail supply chain

laws prevent this. needs intervention of govt. no incentive for farmers to improve efficiency as govt regulates the prices. 10% of agri GDP lost in wastages. archaic infrastructure - inadequate to prevent wastages. private participation will ensure the infrastructure to improve due to capitalist motives to gain and hence will improve the efficiency. main opposition is the inevitable closing of the small popandmom shops. but there will be other job oppurtunities due to the organised retailing business and also the middle income group will benefit due to the savings. 13 states and 3 uts already passed laws allowing pvt players. central is lingering on the decision to allow FDI in this sector.
