Due to lack of proper storage infrastructure post-harvest losses of farm produce is Rs. 1 trillion cr. annually
Because of paper work, corruption is present along the entire supply chain
In India, there are additional 2-3 intermediaries as compared to USA i. ii. They dominate the value chain They flout mandi norms & their pricing lacks transparency
India is still in developing stage in installing and managing an effective IT system especially in rural areas which hampers the overall growth of organized retail sector
Banks are reluctant to finance retailers because of falling demand of organized retailers in India as it has witnessed failure of many stores like Spencer's, Subhiksha, etc.
