The essential commodities act, includes drugs, dairy products, fertilizer, foodstuffs, petroleum products, jute, textile, fruits, vegetables, cattle fodder, and cottonseed. This study will understand how the dairy industries coped during the pandemic by adopting new strategies from e-tailing and related factors. During the ongoing pandemic, this study mainly focuses on using mobile apps and e-stores for online sales of dairy products. The quantitative study uses primary and secondary data.
