Abstract
Essential commodities are always on demand by people at a nominal rate during normal operations but due to COVID-19 and various other reasons, there is a sudden rise in demand for essentials goods. Every marketer who was not associated with essential goods tried to reposition their marketing strategy and tried to incorporate essential goods. During COVID-19, many people have turned towards essential goods sector for a living, and because of the rising demand and supply challenge, the government has acted to make essential products available to even the poorest parts of society. Artificial Intelligence (AI) would be essential to the supply chains of the next decade, effortlessly combining long haul to last-mile capabilities with commodity production, availability, and markets. Supply chains facilitated by AI can also help to respond to emergencies and pandemics quicker and faster, saving lives. The present study determines the important key points to be considered for formulating the utility and traceability of Artificial Intelligence in making the availability of essential goods.
