The document discusses the food supply chain in India. It notes that food supply chains in India are highly complex networks involving millions of small players. It outlines some of the key challenges facing the food supply chain in India, including issues with the APMC Act which restricts direct sales from farmers to buyers; a lack of food processing industry; fragmented and inefficient distribution logistics; and various government policies that hinder modernization and growth. The document also discusses some of the work being done to improve food safety standards and governance in India through organizations like FSSAI. In summary, it presents an overview of the current state of the food supply chain in India and some of the main problems and opportunities for improving its efficiency.

2. SUPPLY CHAIN REDESIGN
High performance supply chains: efforts of
stakeholders for last two decades are highly risk prone.
Tension between week and strong ties among supply
chain partners
New technologies are creating disruptive innovation
Globalization has created long supply chain which are
fragile and need monitoring.
Governance which involves partner selection,
coordination and execution takes centre stage

3. Our agenda
• Now we study the Food
Supply Chain in India, model
it using SES framework,
conduct the GRIP analysis
and finally present the
design of Food Security
Network

6. SES framework can help
to study
•GOVERNANCE
•RISK
•INNOVATION
•PERFORMANCE

7. FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS ARE
COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Food supply chains are highly complex interacting networks
linking millions of small players such as farmers, kirana’s
shops, hawkers, industries, government and other
organizations affecting the political and economic climate.
We should recognize
 The complexity of social, political and operational issues
The domain knowledge to be acquired
The analytics needed to build excellence in strategy and
execution and mitigate the risks
The appropriate governance structure needed to fulfil the
promised deliveries

8. A food supply chain consists of processes and
activities, that take food from its raw material form
and prepare it for our plate
( from farm to fork)

10. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE MARKETING
COMMITTEE (APMC) Act
The APMC Act in each state of India requires all agricultural
products to be sold only in government regulated markets
called minds.
These markets impose substantial taxes on buyers, in
addition to Commission and fees taken by middlemen
Under the present Act, the processing industry cannot
buy directly from farmers and the farmer is also restricted
from entering into direct contract with any manufacturer
Result: disinterested supply chains

11. FOOD MANUFACTURING
Only small percentage of fresh produce or meat are processes
post harvest research and food products testing are at a very
nascent stage
Negative on food manufacturing in India
food packaging is expensive
High import duties on processing and packaging machinery
High sales tax on packaged foods
High protein good not available
PROCESSED FOOD MORE EXPENSIVE THAN
FRESHLY COOKED FOOD

14. Government Intervention Policies
The minimum support price offered by the Government
for 25 crops acts an and provides inputs to the PDS
The essential commodities act empowers the Govt. to
control production, distribution and pricing, etc to
secure equitable distribution and fair pricing.
This restricts interstate movement of goods
These regulations may have lost their utility and are
hampering the growth and modernization of organized
retail

15. Resource shortage
Talent for governance of dispersed (rural and
urban) & independently (small stakeholders)
controlled agriculture, manufacturing & service
chains to make them globally competitive.
There are no well designed hub-and -spoke
distribution network in India and partly the
taxation barriers between states act as barriers
to efficient regional distribution.

16. Distribution logistics in India
Fragmented ,individual company based ,technology
sophistication minimal, not integrated into the supply
chain.
Current attempts are to build hard infrastructure and no
attention to soft infrastructure such as trade facilitation,
ERP, WMS, sensor networks
Losses due to theft, spoilage, goods damage due to
manual handling ,long lead-time and resultant supply
chain inefficiencies.
India ranks35 on the 2016 logistics performance index.

17. Challenges facing the retail sector
Unavailability of logistics companies offering back -end
support for retailers
- refrigerated transport and warehouse facilities
- timely distribution of supplies to retail outlets
The lack of efficient and organized supply-chain
management leading to
Higher costs and complexity of sourcing and planning for
retailers and hence to consumer.
Unavailability of sufficiently skilled and trained manpower
leads to trail and error management in retail operations.

18. Use existing facilities more fruitfully
Take advantage of the vast network and logistical
capabilities of the existing institutions such a
post office, Road transport Corporations, Bank,
etc to bring a host of services to rural population.
Do not wait for the infrastructure to be available

22. Standardisation

standardization is a powerful tool
improving supply chain efficiency.
Standards enables partners enables better
compatibility and interoperability of their
systems and processes.

23. Food Safety In India
Food Safety and Standards Authority
of India (FSSAI) is an autonomous body
established under the Ministry of Health &
Family Welfare, Government of India.
The Food Safety and Standards
Authority of India is a statutory body under
Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

24. The Food Safety and Standards Act (FSS), 2006 is
the primary law for regulation of food products.
This act also sets up the formulation and
enforcement of food safety standards in India.
The FSSAI appoints food safety authorities on
the state level.
The main aim of FSSAI is to Lay down science-
based standards for articles of food to regulate
manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import of
food To facilitate food safety

27. State of Food supply chain in India
Very Inefficient
Needs Good Governance
Needs Food Processing Industry
Needs Cold Chain Logistics
Needs Immediate Attention
