Abstract :

Retailing in India is one of the pillars of Indian economy and accounts for 14 to 15 percent of GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to be US$ 450 billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by economic value. India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world, with 1.2 billion people. The unorganized and fragmented setup in the supply chain makes the retailing unprofitable to key chain players. The study analyzes the impact of modern retail in Tamilnadu with all key players in supply chain. For the study Chennai and Coimbatore districts were chosen purposively selected. A sample of 100 farmers, 15 intermediaries 10 retailers and customers are selected by adopting stratified random sampling to analyze the impact. The study also analyses the retail giant�s performance and its impact on food supply chain in the developing nation like India. The study found that the major marketing constrain faced by growers were due lack of marketing information, lack of transportation facility. To overcome the problems the provision of cold storage facilities to the farmers, distribution centre, and dissemination of market information must be provided. 72% of farmers and 90% of retailers responded that modern retail would help to overcome the supply chain problem. 85% of intermediaries responded that FDI in retail would have an adverse effect in the supply chain resulting in the collapse of the entire food chain.
