Method: The required data was collected from 9 experts and managers related to the field of marketing and distribution (industry and university) using the interview tool and analyzed using the grounded theory. First, 213 primary codes were identified by the researcher, then 194 final codes were extracted by combining, verifying and discarding duplicate codes. By combining and categorizing the final codes, 59 concepts and 31 components were obtained for the research framework. Finding: The findings showed that the causal conditions include inappropriate economic conditions, inappropriate government policies, inappropriate infrastructural conditions, and inappropriate working and social ethics conditions.

The findings showed that the background conditions include logistics and maintenance, supply and production, organizations, unions, unions and non-governmental organizations, government participation, information and communication technology, and needs assessment and customer culture. The findings showed that the intervening conditions include characteristics and lifestyle, culture and consumption pattern, the nature of markets, customers and products, capabilities of marketing intermediaries, restrictive laws, capabilities of producers and distributors.
