Retail strategy as practice..Cash and Carry investor in Pakistan • Cash and Carry investor - 2 stores in 2006, 5 more in 2007 which each store costing $30-40m • Suppliers must have tax number, fax machine etc.. • Success of C&C depends on inefficiency of wholesale. Eg tomatoes. Rp 20 at farm, and Rp 140 in city 5 days later, with up to 5 people involved along chain. Broker (arthi) provide very little service other than pre-financing. 40-45% losses -- packing, logistics, grading. • C&C can buy for Rp40, sell for Rp60 and still get enough margin.

Regulating buyer power? • Regulation of below-cost selling? • Eg Germany: Restraints on Competition Act (1999) • Regulation of supplier relations? • Eg Germany: Reform of competition legislation, July 2005. Large companies now prohibited from using market power to demand “unjustified and repeated” special terms and conditions from suppliers • Codes of Conduct on supplier relations? • Voluntary?. Eg UK, March 2002 • Mandatory? Eg Argentina, Australia • Europe-wide? Any impact? Transferable from NS?

Regoverning Markets programme in short.. • Can the new agrifood business drivers be partners in development? • Can smaller scale producers and their organisations be partners in new business? • Can anticipatory public policy make any difference?
