Why we are discussing this topic?

• Third Most essential need for any living creature
  after air and water
• Basic need for 1.15 billion population in India
  and about 6.5 billion world wide
• We have 17 population of the world but 5 of
  food. Why we want to export?
• Whether people have stopped eating or we are
  unable to sell? If we cant sell dont blame the
  market? Look in your own working system.

Who is suffering?

• Buyers or sellers or both?
• If we are not able to sell, in that case it not
  the problem with market of consumers? We have to
  look into our business practices and address the
  practice which consumers' are not willing to
  support.
• Are we willing to learn from competitors, why
  they are able to succeed in the same market where
  we are facing tough time or loosing market share?
