Food retailing, which was dominated by the unorganized sector until 1990s, is now witnessing a rapid growth with entry of corporate groups in organized sector.
Entry of organized sector provided a ray of hope to the supply chain efficiency of the perishable food items as these have the capability to invest in the supply
chain infrastructure to prolong the shelf line of food items. Additionally, farmers are also expected to be benefitted as the alternate channel for selling their
agricultural produce will give them fair prices. The study tries to explore the supply chain management practices and the constraints faced by these organized and
unorganized retailers in the Ahmedabad city of Gujarat. It is found that direct procurement of food items from farmers is still not a big practice with majority of
the organized and unorganized retailers procuring from the traders. Organized retailers are quite ahead in making the use of infrastructure to improve the supply
chain efficiency. Organized along with unorganized retailers are felt as threat for the unorganized retailers.
