I feel this is a bigger contributor to the steep rise than big bazaar and other similar retail chains.<br />Imagine giving Rs 16/Kg rice to a substantial population for almost 1/8th the price.<br />Also, I do not see Big Bazaar keeping my pocket "warm". Whereas the price outside is 32, the chain sells it for 28. Not huge in the scheme of things is it?<br /><br />-SuryaSuryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490851354197759265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-29949675600123975452009-05-07T17:47:00.000+05:302009-05-07T17:47:00.000+05:30Exchange offer is a big gimmick- one has to buy fo...Exchange offer is a big gimmick- one has to buy for 4 times the exchange amount- its nothing but giving 25% discount on MRP of some useless overpriced item.<br /><br />Wish I know some place selling rice at Rs 20 a kilo...

I think you may know about the "Exchange offer" given by big bazaar where only some unsold brands are given on exchange (which is promptly not mentioned in the advertisements). <br /><br />Rice price rise is a pain that all middle and low class people have to face. If you know some shop where they sell good quality rice for less than 20 Rs./kg, you can let us know. That will be a service and we will be grateful.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Regards.HKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-78328486910440653582009-04-30T14:00:00.000+05:302009-04-30T14:00:00.000+05:30:) Its no rocket science.

I have to admit I did publish the post without much statistical study.<br /><br />Their share may be less, but since unorganized players do not have much coordination to implement counter actions, I believe companies like Future group are capable of enforcing some sort of change. Single largest customer always gets an upper hand, though it may not be as severe as he alone controlling whole market.<br /><br />Second, of the 90 million tons, a huge part is heavily subsidized by the govt for the benefit of poor, who are given rice reasonably cheap through public distribution system. So 26000 ton could be significant enough if we consider only the unsubsidized rice, sold at market price to middle class families.Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-76874246224749325782009-04-27T01:37:00.000+05:302009-04-27T01:37:00.000+05:30Share of organized players in India' retail market...Share of organized players in India' retail market is less then 5%,<br />http://www.ibef.org/industry/retail.aspx<br /><br />I can safely assume this 5% industry can not be reason for high rice price, also we have laws which does not allow companies to build up stock without permission.<br /><br />Second, <br /><br />Total Rice consumption in India is ~90 Million ton .. 26000 ton is 2.8% of it .. significantly higher figure in tonnage, small in % .., is it big enough for price rise .. ? I think recent price rise is aglobal phenomena.Bhupeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798542111255726399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-92141162478067914522009-04-26T13:31:00.000+05:302009-04-26T13:31:00.000+05:30Hi Nidhi,

So that your pocket stays warm, not you. Though AC is not essential commodity like rice, piling up of goods in their godowns is not good news for customers.Raveesh Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898028390727186228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-67593142303475399352009-04-25T15:22:00.000+05:302009-04-25T15:22:00.000+05:30Mohan,
