“…The supermarket supplying farmers also received a higher proportion of the gross price and higher average price even after accounting for 10% rejection (Bathla 2016). The net returns of supermarkets supplying farmers in vegetable crops in Punjab and in South India were higher, across crops, than their non‐supermarket supplying counterparts (Chengappa, Mangala, and Dega 2016; Singla, Singh, and Dhindsa 2016). In pomegranate in Maharashtra too, farmers supplying to a supermarket supplying agribusiness company earned much higher net returns as they bore no marketing cost and the produce was grown to the supermarket standards (Shroff, Kalamkar, and Kajale 2016).…”

The agri‐food value chains in the developing world are evolving fast due to many changes in policy and practice. In India, modern domestic food supermarkets have been present for more than 15 years now. Furthermore, in late 2012, foreign direct investment in multi‐brand retail trade, including food, was permitted up to 51% of equity with other conditions of investment and operations. This paper tries to understand the role of investment (both domestic and foreign) in food/fibre value chains in improving the farmer/producer linkage. It uses empirical evidence from the experience of Indian domestic food retail supermarkets, and (mostly) foreign investment‐based wholesale supermarkets in India, to examine the role such investments can play. It specifically examines the role and implications of investments in supermarkets for farmer income improvement, from a value chain perspective. It also explores various mechanisms which could be used to leverage the presence of such investments in food supermarkets and analyses the role of policy and regulation to promote/protect the small producer interests in food markets.

“…Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) are products that are relatively inexpensive, readily available, and used in daily life. According to their shelf life, these products are often used within days, weeks, or months (Chengappa, 2007;Chhabra and Farooque, 2018). The ability to store materials for a long time is constrained by the limited shelf lives of consumer packaged goods (CPG).…”

The goal of this study is to identify and evaluate key success factors (CSF) for unorganized retail supply chain management (UORSCM). The interpretative structural modelling (ISM) approach is applied for analyzing the CSFs. In India, the unorganized fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) retail sector occupies a sizable amount of space and makes a significant GDP contribution. A total of 13 CSFs are analyzed, and to determine their driving and dependency power, MICMAC analysis is carried out. The outcome demonstrates that unorganized retailing suffers a variety of difficulties, like, the arrival of new competitors, product substitution, supplier problems, buyer threats, an increase in organized retailers, and co-manufacturer threats, in developing country settings. The factors with the highest positive impact are service quality in FMCG retail, time management at stores, product quality, and spoilage adjustment in retail. The factors, service quality in retail, time management at stores, and product quality have resulted in the highest driving power and lowest dependence power to attain the desired performance of UORSCM. The study’s findings also indicate that by focusing on these factors, unorganized retailers can efficiently handle customers.

“…The decline in the millet production could be attributed to a less demand and over-dependency on rice and wheat accounting for about 50% of the average Indian household calorie intake and significant changes in the dietary pattern of households from cereals to high-value food commodities such as livestock products, fruits, vegetables and beverages (Bansil 1999;Radhakrishna 2005;Chatterjee et al 2006;Chandrakanth and Akarsha 2011;Kumar et al 2011). Besides, an increase in per capita income, growing urbanisation, availability of expected fresh and processed food products in the market, improvements in transportation, storage facilities and a rise in supermarkets and changing tastes and preferences are some of the other factors responsible for a decline in the production and consumption of millets (Chand 2007;Chengappa et al 2007;Kumar et al 2011;Vasileska and Rechkoska 2012). Also, a less attention paid by researchers with respect to the significance of underutilized millets (Padulosi and Hoeschle-Zeledon 2004), resulted in neglected nutrition and health opportunities (Frison et al 2006;Hawtin 2007;Smith and Longvah 2009).…”

The present study aims at investigating the determinants of millets production at the farmhousehold level in India. We have used farm household survey data collected by the National Sample Survey for the year 2018-19. Using Heckman sample selection model, the study has estimated the functional relationship between area adoption under millets and various farm household-related characteristics to avoid the sample selection problem associated with the survey data. The results reveal that the price of millets is the key factor affecting the choice of millets production and area expansion. Ensuring a higher price for millets may encourage the expansion of area under millets. As millets are considered less input intensive crops and rich in nutrients, more area adoption under millets may help achieve the sustainable development goals of food security and efficient use of resources.
