Abstract: | The Indian food supply chain is highly complex, involving government and private traders, big and small players, traditional as well as modern systems. All parts of the Indian food supply chain—procurement, storage, transportation, processing, packaging, and delivery—involve different systems and are not dependent upon a single system. It partially explains why the Indian food supply chain shows strong resiliency during the current pandemic lockdown. Food waste/spoilage and pilferage need to be brought down during post-harvesting, harvesting, and pre-harvesting to feed the growing world population at a reasonable cost. The agility and traceability in food supply chains are critical factors to be improved using modern techniques like blockchain and data analytics. However, more research is required to study these losses, their quantification, root causes, and mitigation techniques |
