A wide variety of foodstuffs such as Pepsi-majors, HLL and ITC were the model contract farming with farmers. This is to ensure timely deliveries of raw materials of a quality standard set in advance of prices.

Pepsi made its first foray into this area in’89 tomatoes to the creation of a pulp mill in Punjab, subsequently sold HLL. Basmati rice is an important element of the Pepsi-export, while the growth in contracts peanut in a big way.

Then contract farming as a serious alternative to the distribution channels for the marketing of perishable?

It depends on a number of factors. One thing is the growth of the market for processed foods. Unless that is large enough, would be happy to lend small amounts from the free market.

Secondly, even if it is a request for processed products, it also depends on the willingness of companies to participate in the agriculture market. Abhiram Seth said, ED (exports), Pepsi: “Agriculture is a way for the transition to a market economy complete. If we could our demands of the free market, we would not be in the order in agriculture. ”

It would be good here for some of the older models around - that the Pepsi-operations in the Punjab. According to a researcher Pepsi agricultural deals with Punjab in the kindergarten, the size of their intervention is only 1-2 per cent (in terms of area) to the State. “We can not as a substitute for public procurement,” he says.

The same attitude is also reflected in government circles. An official cacp comments: “Although agriculture can be dealt with, indeed, prove beneficial for certain raw materials, international freight market is very volatile and stability of these agreements depends on how the market for processed food done. ”

For example, if international prices in touch with prices, the company remains obliged to withdraw the original contract? Pepsi argued, they often absorbed losses when farm prices do not have access to more on prices and contract terms were higher.

On the other hand, according to a recent study paper Sukhpal Singh, Institute of Rural Management, Anand, Gujarat, where contracts with farmers are unequal, there are only a few incentives to stay.

For example, the entire risk could be banked on producers. In the document also asserts that only 40 farmers working odd Pepsi in its operations potatoes, and only 10 percent are requirements of the potato, by contractual agreements.

The rest comes from the open market. Thus, the private sector interventions are very low, a drop in an ocean of farmers.

Of course, there are many new tasks Pespi agricultural ventures in India and with some interesting changes, perhaps the more farmers, such models (details in the next series and knowledge in the rural economy).

In this context, the Ministers of Finance of the statement in the last economic additional weight is placed on developing agricultural areas of export subsidies (AEZs) could also positive on the creation of the same kind of links between farmers and end market on behalf of agriculture.
