• Build and maintain strong relationships with APMC traders, commission agents, and farmer-vendors for reliable, on-call supply.
• Create and process POs in the system for shortfall buys; ensure accurate rate, quantity, and quality capture.

• Flag persistent shortfall SKUs and price spikes to the Category team for planning corrections.
