Changing consumer demand preferences, increasing concern for food safety, traceability and assured year-round availability of quality agri produce at reasonable prices at the top of the supply chain has changed agricultural landscape. Agri infrastructure at different levels of agri value chain is key to a vibrant and competitive agriculture and agro industrial sector. Public Private Partnerships could be a useful tool to accelerate development in various areas of agribusiness and infrastructure. The paper discusses the examples of such PPP initiatives in India at various levels of agri value chain such as crop diversification, farmer group formation, marketing Infrastructure, contract farming and provision of agricultural services etc. With government's commitment to investment in agricultural infrastructure and an emerging market for global trade as well as experimentation with new forms of infrastructure-financing and contracting, there are many opportunities to broaden the role of the private sector in infrastructure for agricultural development through PPP models.Keywords

A study was undertaken to examine the nature and extent of post-harvest losses in onion supply chain in the Jhunjhunu district which is major onion district of Rajasthan. A total sample size of 75 onion growers, 20 wholesalers and 25 retailers were taken from Jhunjhunu district. Maximum aggregate post-harvest losses (23.62 kg/q) have been found at producer level due to faulty storage, lack of adequate transportation, drying, improper handling of the produce at the time of marketing, rotted bulbs, doubles, bolters, poor packing facilities, injury at the time of harvesting and de-topping. Total losses in the supply chain were estimated to be 29.02 kg/q (81.39%) losses were observed at farm level and rest were contributed at wholesale and retail level. The farm level post harvest losses excluding the losses at farm level storage for Jhunjhunu district was estimated to be 26676.96q for the year 2009-10.Keywords

The Indian retail industry is one of the most vibrant industries in the country. The retailing sector in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15 per cent of its GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to be US$ 500 billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by economic value. But despite this growth, the Indian retail industry is highly fragmented, with the organized retailing still at a nascent stage which accounts for far less percentage than the unorganized retailing of the total Indian retail market. It is estimated that organized retailing accounts for less than 5 per cent of today’s market. Retailing in India came with evolutionary pattern form unorganised retail store to organised retail store. The global retail industry has been growing at a brisk pace the last few decades. At present sales from the different modern retail centre is higher than unorganised retail store, sales from the organised retail store is more than 45 per cent higher than sales from unorganised retail store. This study aims to find the consumer perception towards organized and unorganized retailing in South Gujarat. The primary data was gathered by administering a prearranged questionnaire with 200 consumers selected purposively from Surat and Valsad city of South Gujarat. The data analysis of consumer attitude towards unorganized and organized retailers shows that there is a difference between the consumers’ perception towards both organized retailers and unorganized retailers regarding the shopping environment, promotional schemes, choice/variety of brands, proper parking facility, proper shelf display of the products etc.Keywords
