Kirana shops are generally situated close to or within residential areas often in the ground floors of residential buildings. Wholesalers are situated in areas which conventionally are in designated wholesale market areas. Mumbai Grahak Panchayat is the largest voluntary consumer organization in Asia, having distribution centers in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and Raigad. KiranaSupermarkets were traditionally Kirana shops now converted into mini supermarkets with self-service and trolleys to move around in isles within the shops. With the opening of Modern Shops Traditional retailers have lost a share of the customers purchasing basket. Food is a basic requirement of all people irrespective of their class or status in society. Groceries are required for daily life. Increasing inflation and the increase in prices of goods makes the purchase of groceries a sensitive area for consumers who require purchasing day in and day out. With an increase in competition amongst retail formats, consumers have wider choices from where they can shop. A Quota Sample of 559 Households of Low, Medium, and High income groups was studied through the Survey method, in Thane City, Maharashtra, India. This paper attempts to study where consumers purchase their groceries from amongst formats such as Kirana, Wholesalers, KiranaSupermarkets, and Modern shops. An analysis of the Input, Throughput, and Output shows three areas of Procurement, Value Addition, and Marketing & Selling that present strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for traditional and modern retailers.

{"title":"The India-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement: How Will Indian Industries Be Affected?","authors":"Ranajoy Bhattacharyya, Avijit Mandal","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2446414","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2446414","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper we apply the gravity model to international trade transactions between India and the ASEAN countries. The model is applied to all HS 6-digit codes for which trade between India and ASEAN takes place. The estimated equation is then used to simulate the trade impact under the alternative scenario of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two countries. The results of these simulations are then presented to find out the possible impact of the India ASEAN FTA on individual industries. Initially the analysis was done at the 2 digit HS level. However we found that the same set of industries at the two digit level will be both favourably and adversely affected due to the FTA. This necessitated disaggregation at the 6 digit, where individual industries in ASEAN that will be able to increase their export to India and the ones for which export by India will increase could be separated. The main conclusion is that intermediate goods will be more affected (both adversely and favourably for India) than final goods. Other conclusions include the fact that about fifty percent of the 6 digit products have insignificant tariff elasticity or the elasticity coefficient (even simple correlation between the rate of tariff and import) is of the wrong sign. The implication is obvious: tariffs do not matter at all for a major part of the industries and for them the agreement has no significance. In fact some of the most debated commodities fall in this category. For many of them though tariff rates have steadily increased overtime so has imports imparting a wrong sign to the tariff elasticity which means that reasons other than tariffs determine their imports and there is no point in putting them in the sensitive or exclusion list.","PeriodicalId":213910,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective eJournal","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132082765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the two-dimensional fragmentation model developed by Fukunari Kimura and Mitsuyo Ando, this paper traces the evolution of global supply chains in the region and elucidates the policy measures that are needed to support and sustain such supply chains. East Asian countries have voluntarily adopted these policy measures since the mid-1980s, but there remains the need to adopt additional policy measures to develop and sustain the global supply chains in the region. FTAs, notably high-standard and broad-based regional or mega-FTAs, are the appropriate means to achieve this objective, because they cover many of the policy measures that are needed for the development of global supply chains. This paper presents the TPP and the RCEP as the two most promising candidates for such FTAs, and argues that Japan is in a position to pursue the aforementioned objective by transplanting the high standard discipline of the TPP into the RCEP.","PeriodicalId":213910,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective eJournal","volume":"1997 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125586720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that relative factor endowment differences are consistently positive and significant for increasing export flows between China and Latin America, suggesting that complementary comparative advantages are developing along the lines of center-periphery relations. Contrary to China-Latin America, specific individual ASEAN countries trade in manufactures with Latin America offer prospects for trade specialization beyond the traditional view of comparative advantages, which is based on similarities in factor endowments. Taken together, these findings suggest that the ASEAN region can plausibly be a game changer to the existing patterns of interregional Asia-Latin America relationship, namely that of China-Latin America, by capitalizing on intra-industry trade flows with their Latin American counterparts.","PeriodicalId":213910,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective eJournal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127080523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It delves into China's influence over the Asian economies and whether this relationship is a market-led or de facto symbiosis. The three principal channels of regional integration analyzed in this article are trade, FDI and vertically integrated production networks. They are essentially based on the activities of the private-sector in these economies. China methodically expanded and deepened its economic ties with the regional neighbors. At the present juncture, China's integration with the surrounding Asia is deep. Another issue that this article explores is the so-called China \"threat\" or \"fear\" in Asia. It implies that China is crowding out exports of the other Asian economies in the world market place. Also, as China has become the most attractive FDI destination among the developing countries, it is apprehended that China is receiving FDI at the expense of the Asian economies. These concerns were examined by several empirical studies, and the inference is that they are exaggerated. This article concludes that the private-sector business activities in China and other rapidly growing Asian economies were (and are) instrumental in bringing together the production structures and real economies. The result is both convergence and integration among the dynamic Asian economies. Over the years China and its Asian neighbors has developed a close and symbiotic economic relationship and a de facto regional integration.","PeriodicalId":213910,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective eJournal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126380975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
