dealers- with huge monetary incentives &
rewards in kind
• Large credit cycle blocking working capital

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 qualityproducts
• Tagging of low quality products with high quality
products due to resultant price war with
