...Building shiny new stores to meet that demand is easy. The hard part will be supplying them with fresh, clean and safe vegetables and fruit through a sophisticated supply chain that links farms and consumers, country and cities. It's here that the real revolution lies. At the moment, India has one of the most fragmented produce-supply chains on the planet. Industry experts estimate more than 30% of all fresh produce is lost or spoils before it reaches the market. On average, goods pass through six or seven middlemen before a consumer can buy it, resulting in tortuous journeys...
...humming during the country's frequent power outages, Reliance is installing diesel generators not only in all its shops but also at its rural collection hubs, where farmers bring their produce, and at its processing centers, which usually sit on the outskirts of a city. A reliable supply of safe water in which to wash fruits and vegetables is also a basic necessity.

Reliance says it will invest $6 billion in retail over...

Meanwhile, two-thirds of the country's 135 million people remain in poverty, a third are illiterate and 40% have no safe water supply. Then there is the environmental cost: more than 1.5 million tons of oil have been spilled over 50 years, and the Niger Delta is one of the most polluted places on earth...

No telling yet when that investment, will...
...Zoellick was hardly the safe choice to replace Paul Wolfowitz, who is leaving at the end of June after running afoul of the Bank's conflict-of-interest rules. Zoellick may be seen by some as too closely identified with the Bush Administration, having served in it from its start through summer of 2006. Less controversial alternatives were available, such as Commerce Secretary Carlos Guiterrez and Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt, who would probably have been acceptable to most of the European and Asian countries who get an informal chop on the choice. But Zoellick was more qualified than either...
