Agricultural Economics Final Year Topic: Working Capital Costs of Stockouts and Excess Inventory in Agro-Input Shops

This Agricultural Economics final year project examines how inventory availability competes with working capital in agricultural retail.

Why choose this project topic?

Working Capital Costs of Stockouts and Excess Inventory in Agro-Input Shops gives the proposal a specific agricultural decision to investigate. By examining how inventory availability competes with working capital in agricultural retail, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.

Which product categories contribute most to documented stock shortages and tied-up capital?

Choose one product category and exclude recommendations to resell expired stock.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define a feasible study scope for how inventory availability competes with working capital in agricultural retail.
  2. 02Review redacted purchases, stock counts and sales from consenting shops, separating seasonal and expired stock.
  3. 03Calculate turnover and bounded holding-cost and missed-sale scenarios using disclosed assumptions.

A suggested research approach

Review redacted purchases, stock counts and sales from consenting shops, separating seasonal and expired stock. Calculate turnover and bounded holding-cost and missed-sale scenarios using disclosed assumptions. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.

What you will need

  • Retailer permission
  • Inventory ledgers
  • Product coding guide

Keep your project scope clear

Potential missed sales are uncertain and must not be reported as observed losses.
