Employment and Consumer Welfare’ released on Wednesday. The report’s findings are principally based on a panIndia survey of 2,062 online vendors, 2,031 brick-and-mortar vendors, and 8,209 consumers of products from ecommerce websites. It was conducted across 35 cities in 20 states and UTs. The survey itself was guided by a robust methodology and conducted by PRICE (People Research on India’s Consumer Economy). Given the veracity of the survey findings, it would be most useful for policymakers to take cognisance of these empirical findings. One of the most striking takeaway is that the apocalypse narrative of large-scale destruction of kirana stores is rejected by brick-and-mortar vendors themselves. The survey asked vendors if they were aware of any physical stores that had shut down in their vicinity since 2020, and what they thought the contributing reasons were. Less than 20% reported a physical store closure in their neighbourhood since 2020 when the pandemic drove an ecommerce boom. Only 6% of offline vendors attributed these store closures to consumers shifting to online shopping. A slightly higher proportion — 8% — attributed physical store closures to the growth of large organised retail.

potato and rice have started falling. Having remained firm for the last three months, prices of potatoes have fallen by 8 per cent in the last 20 days as the cold storages in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal are overloaded with potatoes which need to be used up before November. Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in the third week of July had stopped inter-state movement of potatoes and didn't even allow truck movement carrying potatoes from Uttar Pradesh to the north-eastern states resulting in oversupply and prices falling. Prices of potatoes which stood at Rs 36 a kg 20 days ago are now commanding a price of Rs 34 a kg. Even though Mamata Banerjee on last Tuesday allowed inter-state trade of potatoes for the next seven days on the consideration that there will be no shortage of the tuber for the state and the prices will not rise, the potato trade in Uttar Pradesh said that the sudden decision to stop movement of potatoes has disrupted the supply chain.
