The grocery Industry is one of the largest consumer markets in the world; this industry is projected at a growth rate of 6.1% annually from the year 2016. Expected to reach $8.5 trillion by the year 2020, While online grocery shopping is tipped to spur this growth. Groceries are always in demand globally, irrespective of economic conditions there is still the demand for groceries.

The problems in the grocery supply chain to consumers
The price of any Consumer item is determined by demand and supply, as a first-year student of economics would profess. But besides demand and supply, other factors play a role, in determining how much consumers pay for an item. In a market where many intermediaries are playing a role in the supply chain process, this intermediary also adds margins to the consumer price.
Grocery producers and manufacturers produce at a specific cost, and they add a margin to their value, to arrive at manufacturers price. However, this is not the price consumers pay on the market. Wholesalers and retailers control the groceries distribution globally; these players buy directly from the manufacturers and producers for profit. Consumers end up paying from 30 to 50% of manufacturers prices to intermediaries.

Besides, that Groceries travel a long distance to reach consumers from the producers and manufacturers, a situation that leads to high wastage of groceries especially the perishable ones at the hands of wholesalers and retailers, and this cost are shifted on to the consumers. But in the absence of such intermediaries in the supply chain, consumers pay far lesser than when intermediaries are involved. INS ecosystem resolves this problem.

The problem of the Grocery supply chain to manufacturers
Trade promotion and marketing effort by manufacturers are overly costly and impact negatively on consumers as this add to the high pricing of groceries from manufacturers to consumers, making it ineffective. But this cost is avoided on the INS ecosystem. Manufactures also turn to optimize for Retailers who are driven by profit motive, in the items they stock as opposed to the real demand of consumers.
