4.1 INTRODUCTION:

The Food Processing Industry in Pune is one of the largest in terms of the
production, consumption, and distribution network as well as import-export and
growth prospects. Buoyed by a favorable policy domain and the demand pull
impact of the young consuming class with growing income and consumption,
India offers a very relevant investment opportunity in the food and agri-business
sector and thus, is likely to become a WORLD PLAYER in this business. The
Indian economy is an agrarian economy, where agriculture contributes
approximately 20 % of the Country's Gross Domestic Product and also provides
livelihood to almost 67 percent of the country’s population.

The study like Impact of Information Technology (IT) on Business-to-

Business (B2B) Relationships ------- A Study of Agro Based Food Industries in
Pune City is not possible without knowing and analyzing various factors
contributing to the impact of IT on developing B-2-B relationship and the
performance of the same on the agricultural food industries in Pune City. It is very
hard to comprehend what makes a company victorious and how a business
organization stands in front in the competitive environment.

The food industry is a very important constituent of Indian Agriculture. In

the previous period of the Economy, the processed food industry made use of high
rank of the agricultural products & items for export, earning a substantial quantity
of foreign exchange to help to expand our nation's economy. The rural sector of

Page | 160
our economy has developed very suitably firstly, because of only agricultural
products sold out to different food factories and secondly, the employees
employed in these factories. At the moment, globalization, trade liberalization and
privatization has really allowed the importation as well as exportation of
agricultural products and several food items into India. However, domestic food
industries have continued to construct a massive demand for agricultural products,
which includes of the contracted crops practice and production of seasonal
agricultural crops as well.

With a leadership position in the making of several crucial agricultural

merchandises counting cereals, pulses, fruits, dry-fruits, vegetables and dairy
based products, India's supply strength in agriculture is huge, with a potential to
emerge as one of the leading Agro-Economy of the whole World. Various authors

way & style. However, in this chapter the researcher has collected various views
& opinions of some of the selected authors regarding the same. These views &
suggestions were used for concept building and drawing further conclusions &

Pune the initiatives will not be taken up by the food industries/ sector (Corporate
sector) and they need to have a comprehensive reporting framework to initiate
their actions in this regard. We therefore need to build the measurement systems,

the agro-food business sector. Thus many food based associations like the MCCIA
that is Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture, Pune stay
