Food wholesalers and distributors play a crucial role in ensuring that food products reach retailers, restaurants, and other businesses efficiently. Wholesalers purchase products in bulk from manufacturers or farmers and store them in large warehouses. Distributors, in turn, focus on delivering these goods to various points of sale, maintaining a reliable supply chain.
By leveraging economies of scale, wholesalers and distributors help keep prices competitive, making food accessible to consumers. However, they also face challenges like fluctuating demand, regulatory compliance, and the need for sustainability in logistics.
