RETAIL TRADE : BACKBONE OF ECONOMY
Retail trade is world’s oldest business.
Retail trade consists of sale of goods & services to consumers for their personal, family or household use.
Based on turnover and volume, retail trade is worlds biggest economic activity.
In the year 2000, world turnover in retail trade is estimated around Rs. 3,10,20,000 crores.
In India by investing nominal Capital a person can start retail business.
In India Retail shops are generally owned and run by family. The whole family gets self employed.
HISTORIC CONTRIBUTION BY TRADERS :
During Pre-independence days the traders have helped the leaders in all forms like man power and money.
In all social activities & establishment of schools, colleges, hospitals mandir, masjid etc. traders have contributed.
Round the year 24 hours a day, traders have made all the goods required by customer available to them
During the days of acute shortages, the traders have some how managed to arrange goods for its customers.
Relationship of Indian traders and customers is much more than mere business
Indian traders have always seen customer satisfaction above personal profit.
SUPPORT AND HELP TO GOVERNMENT
Traders are self employed and give employment to entire family and others.
Traders give employment to that neglected section of society who do not get employment any where.
Traders take care of entire family of his employees.
All direct and indirect taxes levied by Central, State and local govt. are deposited by trader in Govt. treasury without any charges or commission from Govt.
During famine, floods, earthquakes tsunami and other natural calamities, the traders have always come out openly to extend full help to Govt.
TRADERS BEING IGNORED BY GOVEREMENT
In Order to gain political mileage, traders have been termed by objectionable words.
After independence one after another anti trade, anti trader laws have been made.
Traders have been made slaves under Inspector Raj.
Time & again new legislatures are being imported. Small Traders have been put under heavy burden of book keeping, taxation and compliances under various laws.
In the name of development and road widening the shops are being demolished only to give passage to hawkers and footpath shopkeepers to establish their business.
Local Govt. failed to build new markets. old traditional markets in different localities are being removed to make way for Big stores to get customers.
CONTRIBUTION OF TRADERS
IN ECONOMY
In comparison to world, India has largest number of retail traders.
In our country there are about 1,25,00,000 retail out lets.
Retail trade contributes about 10% - 11% of our country’s GDP.
Total turnover of retail sector is about Rs. 8,75,000/- crores.
After agriculture, Retail trade provides employment to maximum number of persons.
1.25 crore shops are providing employment to about 4 crore people.
In a study conducted by Reserve Bank of India, India Retail Traders charge less margin.
FOREIGNERS ARE MORE DEARER THAN INDIANS
Indian traders, Businessman and Industrialists have established their leadership across the world.
India is emerging as a big economic power.
Our country is progressing in all economic fields.
We have lagged behind in infrastructure, irrigation power etc. i.e. such sectors which were under control / monopoly of Govt. We could not grow to full potential in such sectors.
These infrastructure sectors require huge investment with larger gestation period. Hence special emphasis has to be given to these section.
It is unfortunate that instead of focusing development of such core areas the govt. want to hand over our established retail trade to foreigners.
It is surprising that suddenly govt. feels that our traders are incompetent to serve the people or handle retail shops OR in disguise of Foreign Direct Investment our retail trade is being sold to foreigners.
WHAT WAS THE CRITERIA FOR FDI
Some time in 1991-92, the then Finance Minister and present Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singhji referred to certain criteria for allowing Foreign Direct Investment. These were :
1. Establishment of basic industries requiring huge capital and advanced sophisticated technology.
2. Infrastructure projects like electricity generation road building etc.
3. Projects which would generate employment
WILL THIS HAPPEN WITH FDI
IN RETAIL TRADE
Throughout the world it is known fact that huge investment is not required to open a retail shop.
Investment is required to build infrastructure for shop, sophisticated technology is not required in retail trade.
Small Retail shops provide more employment then large chain of Retail stores.
There is no gestation period. Hence business starts from day one.
Instead of developing under developed areas these stores capture prime commercial property in cities.
WHAT DO FOREIGN / MULTINATIONAL
COMPANIES DO In 60s Big foreign houses entered in retail trade in other parts
of world.
This is against our culture of “One family One shop”.
These big companies, in order to crush competitors sell goods cheap. Later on effective prices of goods are increased.
These companies buy material from International market. Hence local producers are put to loss
These companies buy in bulk quantities directly from manufacturers. The intermediaries loose business.
After conquering the markets of Europe and America, these companies have now entered Asian markets.
After establishing their footings in Thailand, Indonesia, China, Japan, Philippines, etc in Asia, these companies are now targeting India.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO RETAIL TRADE
These companies open chain of shops. With a shop in each area the retail small shopkeepers will be put to heavy loss
Slowly the local shops will start closing down. These shops will capture the trade. In countries where they have established their market share is
Name of Country % of Market ShareAmerica 80%England 80%Western Europe 70%Brazil 40%Thailand 40%Korea 35%China 20%Malaysia 20%India 3%

LOCAL RETAIL TRADE
No of Retail outlets Between 1981-99 in United Kingdom came down from 56862 to 25800.
Between 1970-80 in Europe about 4 lakhs Retail shops were closed.
Competition shall be limited to Big Retail Houses
In the year 2000 Five Big Fast food companies captured following percent market share :
Country % ShareNorway 99Swezerland 88Sweden 94UK 64Portugal 57
WHAT HAPPENED IN THAILAND
In price war traditional shop keepers are facing problem of survival. Many small shop keepers have closed down their shops.
Big companies have seen growth of 40%
There was adverse impact on 60000 small shopkeepers.
A small shopkeeper fired rocket in Big shop & committed suicide," frustration”.
The Prime Minister of Thailand agreed that there was adverse impact on retail trade.
The Govt. which had opened its door for FDI in retail trade with big bang had to provide financial assistance to retail traders by establishing a special fund.
WHAT HAPPENED IN CHINA
There is a race to capture more & more space for retail trade.
There is allegation of flouting the norms on these stores.
There is anger against these companies amongst general public.
Media is also reporting how traditional shops have been thrown out.
The suppliers and manufactures are also facing problem. These are closing down.
WHAT HAPPENED IN OTHER
ASIAN COUNTRIES
Other countries are also unhappy. Many countries have started taking precautions.
Indonesia and Malaysia have established zones within which these foreigners can do trade.
In Japan Big companies have to discuss with small traders. There is Zoning system also. Hence these companies have to establish their shops outside city limits.
There is wide discontent amongst shopkeepers & people in the countries to which these store belong.
The city counselor of California & Chicago have refused to allow opening of new shops to WALMART.
These shops are required to take permission in countries like France, Germany and America.
NOW ITS TURN OF INDIA
The tough stand taken till recently by Central Govt., Foreign Retail Traders could not enter India.
It is unfortunate that Central Cabinet has given approval to FDI in Retail Trade.
Shift of Major retail trade to these big companies will render small traders & their employees unemployed.
Many companies with the help of contract farming will sell goods produced in farms directly from their chain of stores.
After establishing control over purchases & sale these companies will start dictating.
These companies will keep only graduates and above in their employment. There will be no scope for employment to under graduate and others.
In the event of non receipt of payment of supplies, it becomes impossible to reach owners.

REQUEST STOP FDI IN RETAIL TRADE
If Domestic Retail Trade is allowed by Big MNC’s etc., there will be Large Scale Unemployment.
A new class of unemployed called “Unemployed Traders” will join the existing force of unemployed persons.
These companies will sell internationally procured products. Domestic Industry will suffer.
Everybody knows how Big Fish eats away small fishes.
Keeping the experience of other countries in mind, Govt. should not take any such decision for which the whole country and coming generation will have to suffer.
SELF EMPLOYMENT IN INDIA
India has huge force of unemployed persons.
Govt. has failed to generate need based employment..
Majority of people in India are self employed.
The Major area of self employment is Agriculture and Retail Trade .
The farmers problems were not addressed timely. They are committing suicide.
WHAT is the future of Indian Traders in India?
WILL next generation pardon us?
WHAT SHOULD GOVT. DO
Govt. should identify the weakness of present retail trade.
Govt. should specify the areas where customers are not being served properly.
Govt. should specify what it expects from retail trade that is not being met presently.
Govt. should publicise the sector / persons who have demanded FDI in Retail Trade.
Govt. should come out with white paper on FDI in Retail Trade specifying the picture after 25 years and 50 years.
INDIA : MY COUNTRY
DON’T SEE INDIA AS POPULATION OF ONE HUNDRED CRORE MOUTHS TO FEED.
SEE IT AS A MARKET OF ONE HUNDRED CRORE CONSUMERS WITH
TWO HUNDRED CRORE EYES TO WATCH YOUR PRODUCTS AND
TWO HUINDRED CRORES HANDS TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS.
WORLDS LARGEST EMERGING RETAIL MARKET : WHO WILL CONQUOR IT : WE OR THEY?
DO NOT MAKE GOVEREMENT AS,
GOVEREMENT BY MNC GOVEREMENT OF MNC GOVEREMENT FOR MNC’S
