Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the process and role of supply chain collaboration in Indian agri-food industry and highlight the perceptions of buyers and suppliers towards each other. The paper seeks to find out how can collaboration in agri-food supply chain lead to low wastage and better efficiency. Also, the paper attempts to capture the nuances of collaborative practices and perceptions of buyers and suppliers towards collaboration. Design/methodology/approach Case study methodology in a top Indian food-processing firm was conducted to explore the application and benefits of collaboration in supply chains. In-depth interviews with upstream supply chain members were conducted to understand the process of supply chain collaboration. Grounded Theory Methodology was used to analyze the transcripts. Findings Firstly, through content analysis of interview transcripts a comprehensive framework and a generic model was derived to understand the process of supply chain collaboration. Supplier selection, Joint Planning and Information sharing were found to be main antecedents while profits; waste reduction and supply chain efficiency were major outcomes of collaboration. Secondly, it was found that the suppliers are usually more skeptical of the buyers and don’t trust them easily. While, for buyers, it is very important to have good relations with suppliers and should make provide incentives to suppliers for collaboration. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to elaborate the process and outcomes of collaborative activities along an Indian agri-food supply chain through in-depth qualitative study. In developing countries, agriculture industry is the backbone of economy. Therefore, the insights developed in this study may be useful for managers in agribusiness to dwell into such supply chain practices that would increase profit and efficiency, and decrease wastage.

“…The relationship structure of organic red rice supply chain through PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia was formed by eight actors: farmers, collecting trader, PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia, Pamella Supermarkets, Maga Swalayan, Progo Store, Mirota, and consumers. The number of actors in the red rice supply chain is in line with [13] who shows that the rice supply chain structure in India works on a traditional framework that involves many intermediaries in the supply and distribution sector so that the supply chain becomes less efficient.

This study aimed to describe the relationship structure of organic red rice supply chain and measure the supply chain performance through PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia. The number of respondents in this study was 97 people, consisting of 30 farmers, one trader, one director of PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia, four retailers, one industrial consumer, and 60 household consumers. This study employed a descriptive analysis. The results showed that the organic red rice supply chain’s relationship structure consisted of nine actors forming five chains and having different activities. The actors consisted of farmers, trader, PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia, Pamella Supermarkets, Maga Swalayan, Progo Store, Mirota, Panti Rapih Hospital, and household consumers. In terms of continuity flow, the supply chain performance of organic red rice comprising the product flow, money flow, and information flow as a whole, has not been going well. It was because there were still quite smooth flows, including product flow and information flow. The best performance was the chain formed from farmers, trader, PT Lingkar Organik Indonesia, and Panti Rapih Hospital.

Agriculture supply chains and their management are now evolving in India to respond to emerging new marketing situations in the wake of globalization. Efficient supply chains results to an increase in the marketable surplus by bringing down the inefficiencies in production, processing, storage and transportation. The study was conducted in Udham Singh Nagar district of Uttarakhand for the supply chain management of wheat and rice seed production by Tarai Development Corporation in Udham Singh Nagar to analyze the forward, backward integration of supply chain. The primary data were collected from Tarai Development Corporation, and private seed plant owners through personal interviews. Private seed plant owners were interviewed to find the practices followed by them from procurement till the marketing of seeds. The secondary data was collected from various published records/ publications and from selected seed producing companies. Tarai Development Corporation has an extensive network of dealers and retailers. Tarai Development Corporation caters its customers to a number of sales channels viz. private sales channel, government sales channel, institutional sales channel and direct sales channel. Seed companies have a very robust sales channel. The sales channels may vary from one firm to another. Dependence on a particular channel may vary but channel identified are moreover same. Market dynamics in seed industry is a crucial factor. There are high chances of delayed payment in case of any change in market scenario. This was a common problem that was faced by almost every company of the region of Uttarakhand and adjoining areas of Uttarakhand as well as Uttar Pradesh. The delivery and sales channels are moreover same as that of the Tarai Development Corporation. Sales channel of private seed companies can be categorized into three categories viz. private sales, institutional sales, direct sale.
