RETAILING
In 2004, The High Court of Delhi defined the term retail as a sale for final consumption in contrast to a sale for further sale or processing (i.e. wholesale). A sale to the ultimate consumer. It is the interface between the producer and the individual consumer buying for personal consumption. This excludes direct interface between the manufacturer and institutional buyers such as the government and other bulk customers. Retailing is the last link that connects the individual consumer with the manufacturing and distribution chain.

FDI POLICY- OVER THE YEARS

FDI in Multibrand retail

The marketing of two or more similar and competing products, by the same firm under different and unrelated brands. While these brands eat into each others' sales, multi-brand strategy does have some advantages as a means of 1. Obtaining greater shelf space and leaving little for competitors' products. 2. Saturating a market by filling all price and quality gaps. 3. Catering to brand-switchers users who like to experiment with different brands. 4. Keeping the firm's managers on their toes by generating internal competition.

FDI in Multibrand retail

It means that global retailers such as WalMart, Carrefour, Tesco and others can set up mega deep-discount stores in the country through joint ventures with Indian firms, where the foreign partner can hold up 51% equity. The issue arises that Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Metro already have stores in India but these are wholesale cash-and-carry stores where only institutions or Kirana shops can buy not consumers.

WHY INDIA ????


1. We are the second highest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world but still we are not able to utilize it properly because of inadequate infrastructure facilities. 2. It will reduce pre-harvest wastage/losses and thus help control food inflation. 3. It will create 1.5 million more jobs in 5 years. Apart from the huge number of indirect employment. 4. It will increase competition which is always beneficial for the customer. 5. It will remove the middleman from the equation. It will reduce costs which in turn will reduce prices.

ISSUE 1 : FDI will provide employment-A MYTH1


FDI in multi-brand retail will lead to a mass scale loss and displacement of retail jobs. As per NSSO 64th Round 2007-08, retail trade employed 7.2% of total workers and provided job to 33.1 million. FDI in retail, definitely, will challenge the 12 million existing shops and 33.1 million employers. The Commerce Minister says 40 lakh people will be directly employed. WalMart has 21 lakh employees worldwide. Their largest store has 214 employees. At this rate they have to open 18,000 stores in India. For Tesco or Carrefour, it is lesser; so there are 36,000 stores that need to be opened in 53 cities - that is 600 stores per city. Wal-Mart has not been allowed to open a store in Manhattan. Even the New Yorkers realise that this would lead to closure of stores in Manhattan. The entry of the trading giant, Wal-Mart, led to the closure of 40,000 US factories between 2001 and 2007, resulting in throwing millions of people out of their jobs. FDI in Multibrand retail

ISSUE 2: Condition of Farmers will get worsened


Multi Brand Retailers pay farmers and employees less. They never reduce their profits. (EU parliament) Instances about the potato farmers who are forced to throw their potatoes by McDonalds which imports its own potatoes. MBRs Benefit Accrue large retailers who drive down the prices.(Chairman of AMUL)

ISSUE 3: Emergence Of Foreign Middlemen


There are instances where there are no middlemen in India. For example, in the sugar sector, the sugarcane farmers are contracted by sugar mills to sell their produce directly to the mills. When FDI comes in India, MBR will act as new middlemen. To say that middlemen will no longer exist is totally wrong. There may be many faults in our rural market (aarat) system that need fixing. But there is a bond of trust between the farmer and the traders in the market and that cannot be denied. The traders (middlemen)are the farmer's traditional ATM.

ISSUE 4: FDI in retail - devil lies in the detail


No to front-end stores but welcome the foreign retail chains to open factories and warehouses. MBRs business will be confined to state allowing FDI only, self contradicting. 50% of FDI must find its way into back-end operations anywhere in India.

ISSUE 5: The dubious benefits of FDI in retail


Wal-Mart faced allegations of bribery that helped it set up stores much ahead of its competitors within Mexico. This resulted in violation of Mexican law and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The bargaining power of the global trading giant with the Governments is so high that it eventually puts pressure on State finances, through taxbreaks, effective outsourcing models to kill production jobs. The savings due to shopping at Wal-Mart cannot compensate for the loss of job opportunities and income. Foreign investment, in the last two decades, has contributed less than 5 per cent to the economy, while the real wealth creation has come from the household sector, which includes proprietary and partnership firms.

ISSUE 6: 100% FDI in Cold Storage- A Dream Wastage


Wastage as per 2010, 25-30% in fruits and vegetables and 5-7% in food grains. 80 million toons of fruits and vegetables go to waste due to lack of cold storages.

ISSUE 8: FDI, a welcome to Chinese Market

FDI in Multibrand retail

In the final analysis, for India, FDI in multi-brand retail should be seriously considered by the government and, as with many other sensitive sectors (like defense), a gradual opening up could be made possible. Despite country wide speculation on the plight of small retailers, India needs to take a lesson from China where organized and unorganized retail seem to co-exist and grow together. In our view, the government has an opportunity to utilize the liberalization for achieving certain of its own targets: improve its infrastructure; access sophisticated technologies; generate employment for those keen to work in this sector FDI would lead to a more comprehensive integration of India into the worldwide market and, as such, it is imperative for the government to promote this sector for the overall economic development and social welfare of the country. If done in the right manner, it can prove to be a boon and not a curse.
