Foreign Direct Investment in Retail Trade

More about the book

The book explores the implications of foreign direct investment (FDI) in multibrand retail trade, arguing that it could transform consumer experiences and improve the dire conditions faced by farmers. It critiques the government's tendency to blame the retail system for agricultural woes instead of addressing flawed policies that have historically favored corporations over farmers. The narrative emphasizes that the real beneficiaries of agricultural policies are often agro-companies, rather than the intended recipients, highlighting the disconnect between policy intentions and outcomes.
