Hello friends,

FDI will let some major players emerge in the retail segment. Big retail outlets will enjoy monopoly in selling and in buying as well. This means that the poor farmers will not have much optiona to sell their crop in the market causing them to lower their selling price and shrink the margins.

On the other side will be profitable to the farmers as middlemen will give them a better price for their goods.Farmers will get an opportunity to supply their produce to the big chains directly rather than going through intermediate brokers. The induction of the foreign investors will definitely help the small traders i.e. the farmers. It will deepen the economic cooperation between India and US.
