Supply Chain Management of Sugar Industry in India: A Case of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand
摘要
This study is a blend of theoretical applications that provides an insight into the complete supply chain system of the sugar industry. This study conducted in India, covered the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Some unique characteristics were identified with respect to the sugar industry in India. The main aim of this study was to understand the role of different supply chain partners like sugarcane farmers, millers, distributors (includes brokers, wholesalers, and retailers) and other stakeholders of the sugar industry. This will bring radical improvement to the system at different stages/levels i.e. farmers’ level, procurement level, sugar production level, and distribution level. The researchers, academia, industrialists, and policy makers will definitely understand the real-time working structure and business environment of the sugar supply chain system in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, probably similar for other states too.
