Abstract

This case is about the Supply Chain of a pesticides producer (disguised as a hybrid seeds producer) that imported the raw material for its pesticides from its mother company in Switzerland, formulated and packed it in Karachi, and sold it throughout Pakistan. The company had two large warehouses in the country, many regional ware-houses, and a chain of retail outlets throughout the country. The company had been steadily losing market share to cheaper "generics" in the last 15 years. The company had also changed hands a few times in the last ten years and had been under pressure to reduce working capital requirements. The case looks at the typical challenges in supply chain management.
