In India, the farmers still lack real time information about consumers, market demand and prices and are prone to more exploitation by existing intermediaries in the conventional supply chain. With the growth of organized retailing and free global trade, farming is becoming highly knowledge intensive, commercialized, competitive and globalised, making it necessary to digitize, rebuild competitive. In agriculture sector, an efficient supply chains to benefit both the farmer as well as the consumer. Also the urban areas are congested with deteriorating quality of life and highly saturated markets. While nearly 60 per cent of India�s population live in rural areas, and forecasts indicate that these numbers will remain the same, even in 2050. There would be approx. 800 million people living in Indian rural areas in the 2040-50s, providing the scale and the markets for commodity supply chains to thrive. Thus, there is a need for transforming rural India into a group of sophisticated vibrant activity centres. Innovations and transformations will be required in every layer of products, processes, business models, and service models. This study aims to find the different aspects of supply chain of agricultural outputs mainly in Assam and India by and large. The state of Assam is capable of producing many sorts of agricultural commodities but yet to reach the ideal position in terms of supplying and distribution.
