The suicide by drinking pesticides were happening for a long time, especially since mid-90s. The rate of increase has more to do with public policy , price controls and sub-par pesticides, fertilizers and seeds. The cock-tail of GATT, WTO restriction on farmer subsidies coupled with price controls and adulterated products, has created the farmer suicide hell.

ECommerce and logistics have nothing to do with it.
