Krea University
Introduction to Research Study
This research maps the price volatility in the Rice supply chain across major rice-growing states, namely West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Based on interviews from the primary survey, the research will try to map the inter-connectedness and the role of various stakeholders across markets. Using secondary sources from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, the Government of India and the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection (DMI), the study analyses the monthly wholesale and retail prices and tries to explain the volatility in terms of differences in institutional mechanisms of price support programs across several Indian states.
