...There are other headaches. Reliance wants to start selling meat but will have to set up a completely independent supply chain so as not to offend vegetarians, who make up almost half of all Indians.

But the company is now out of the crab-picking business altogether: not even a guest-worker program could save it from the plunging crab market. Even though it's situated near a rich and storied crab fishery, Garland Fulcher's only business now is repackaging...
