The actual demand and supply data for any produce (which is MOST
fundamental to any sustainable business) is not reliable /accurate , leading
to over production and wrong crop selection.
Price discovery through auctions or local mandis are an eye-wash
Bagging/packing of produce is not standardized,
Too many middlemen, too little value addition – Resulting in High wastage
(over 40%), black marketing and price escalations of over 300%
Transportation handled by independent truckers who also operate through
brokers
Several existing storages and cold rooms under utilized
There is little or no IT usage/Post harvest science

End buyers – High prices, Poor quality
Lorry drivers – The missing link
Small retailers – Bullied out, Ignored , Slumdogs ?
