The situation has been aggravated as FMCG makers have not yet returned to full capacity production Distributors of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are finding it hard to get stocks of daily essentials, especially packaged foods, such as noodles, certain brands of biscuits, pasta, salty snacks, and small packs of dish-washing products, as lockdown-related hiccups in supply of goods continue to impact stocks, said All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF). “There is a lag between production and supplies and it is hitting the market now," said Dhairyashil Patil, national president, AICPDF.
The situation has been aggravated as FMCG firms have resumed production, but have not returned to full capacity utilization.
