About brokers

Food brokers are independent businesses that provide the link between food manufacturers and food and restaurant retailers.

These marketing businesses work for food purchasing companies, helping sell food products to chain wholesalers and independent retailers.

By serving many customers simultaneously, food brokers can reduce costs compared to selling directly from the producer.

Food broker services are grouped under five main categories:

- Bringing producers and buyers together:

The primary role of many food brokers is to find potential buyers and acquire and win business for the food manufacturer. Food marketing businesses form networks with manufacturers, wholesalers and store owners.

- The market research:

Food brokers' research helps determine the performance and suitability of their clients' products. This research also includes making comparisons with competing products. Thanks to this research, food manufacturers can freely make product expansion and discontinuation decisions.

- Setting sales targets:

Food brokers' knowledge of the food market allows them to develop short- and long-term sales goals with their customers.

- Promotional campaigns:

Food brokers help their clients set up and execute promotional campaigns, including price tag design and other branding services.

- Administrative services:

Large food manufacturers often face administrative challenges such as keeping track of invoices and payments. Food marketing agencies sometimes assist their clients with paperwork-related tasks, such as tracking shipments and tracking payments. These types of services allow food manufacturers to focus on other core business matters.
