Multiple intermediaries (3-5) between manufacturer and farmer
Lack of transparency in pricing & coupling of unnecessary SKUs
Lack of access to quality & brands- spurious products abound
Lack of line of sight to actual farmer demand: distributor-driven
Lack of Knowledge among farmers around input application and
small scale of operation
Input Supply Chain in India
Presence of multiple intermediaries (4-6) between farmer and
end customer
Lack of primary processing infrastructure at farm gate
Post harvest losses due to lack of infrastructure like
warehousing, cold chains etc and multiple handling
Lack of bargaining power among farmers due to small scale
Output Supply Chain in India
RESULTING IN HIGHER INPUT COST AND LOWER OUTPUT REALIZATION FOR FARMERS

• Heavily dependent on dealers & distributors
• Intense competition in pushing products through
dealers- with huge monetary incentives &
rewards in kind
• Large credit cycle blocking working capital
• Distributor-push determines sale strategy;
further driven by profit-maximisation objectives
of the manufacturer
• Intense price war & price distortions of same
products from different channels: leading to loss
making sales
• High sales targets and tagging of other products
along with priority products imposed by
manufacturers irrespective of local demand
• Heavy reliance on credit
• High channel cost as it goes through various players
before reaching end farmer
• Focused more on high margin products rather than
high quality products
• High cost of goods due to long supply chain
• Absence of aggregated availability of all types of
inputs at a single point
• Lack of updated knowledge on new products, that
can solve a specific problem
• Issues with retailers focused on high margin
products rather than high quality products
• Tagging of low quality products with high quality
products due to resultant price war with
wholesaler
