Emergence of Modern Retailing Emergence of Modern Retailing
• Pace of supermarket penetration accelerating in emerging markets, but, one size does not fit all (and not all public and/or private enthusiastic)
• In any country, waves – first, in big cities, then secondary cities, then rural towns
• Processed foods and non-food grocery first, then, meats, dairy, fruit and last into vegetables
• Impetus is, often, significant FDI from major international players, and/or “retaliation in first” domestic investment

Emergence of Modern Retailing Emergence of Modern Retailing
• Supply chains modernise – from top end to mass market – through– National, regional, global sourcing networks– “Preferred supplier” systems– Direct purchase and specialised wholesalers– Private quality standards
• All the above have substantial implications for food industry players, in particular, smaller-scale businesses (not least small-scale farms)

British are “exceptionally slow of imagination and wanting in taste” when it comes to food. “As a rule, the Englishman’s dinner is plain and monotonous to a degree. The cook knows nothing of proportion in seasoning his food; little of variety, and has a rough slovenly touch”!
Indian Tourist to the UK1896

But:But:• Fresh food purchase preference and lack of
modern fresh food supply chains provides a buffer for wet markets and traditional retailers
• Extended families and servants reduce convenience advantage of modern retailing
• Penchant for regulation embedded in Indian public sector DNA
• Farmers and small-scale retailers do have political clout and resist modern sector incursion
