INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
Indian retail sector is largely closed to outsiders to safeguard the livelihood of nearly 15 million small store owners 96% of the business run by unorganized retailers Only 51% foreign investment is allowed in single brand retail with prior government permission. FDI is also allowed in wholesale business.
Strategic Licensing Agreements Foreign company enters into a licensing agreement with the domestic retailer. Mango, the Spanish apparel brand has entered India through this route with an agreement with Pyramid, India.
Myths of FDI

Farmers would get higher share of retail income with the entry of global organized retail chains.
FACT
In
US the farm value share of consumer expenditure for domestically produced farm foods has steadily declined from 33% to 21% from 1970 to 1994. According to a European study, the real farm producer price index of total farm production fell by 27% over the period 1990-2002 .
- From The Economic Times
Myth 2
Increase in share of global organized retail would lower prices in food articles.
FACT
Trends in the BLS (Bureau of Labour studies) food price index in US from 1950 to 2007 tend to somewhat mirror the general Consumer Price Index, with no steady decrease or increase.
Myth 3
Global retail chains would procure directly from farmers.
FACT
Currently Wal-Mart procures only 20% (mainly non-food category) of goods directly from manufacturers. Most of the organized retailers procure from large wholesalers and other intermediaries.
