Need Help – With Bar Codes

Hey Rodinhoods,

I am planning to build a grocery e-com/marketplace and facing issues to add humongous products to my site and later on facilitate retail store owners to add products. What i found is bar codes; a unique number by which i can organize items and retail store owners can add/choose what they have to sell & consumers can place orders by scanning barcodes by scanning barcodes on products.

My doubts:

1. Barcode is the right thing to do this? (pls suggest any methods)

2. From where I can get initial set of barcode database of grosery items sold in India.
