Wholesale Distribution And What it Basically Entails 

 

You must have already heard of the term wholesale distributors. This is basically an indication of the role that is played for distributing products at wholesale prices. The entire system of wholesale distribution deserves a little more insight and careful understanding on your part. This is because the entire wholesale ecosystem is what keeps the supply chain ticking throughout the year across major global cities including Dubai which is one of the biggest trading and commercial hubs of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). How does the entire wholesale system work? The entire chain starts with the one who is manufacturing or creating the food product in question (if we assume a system for food products). Thereafter, once this food product is created, it is sold at a particular price point by the creator/manufacturer to the distributor.

Now, the wholesale food distributors assume responsibility for large-scale product distribution on a large scale. They are the ones who store and manage these goods, taking responsibility for spreading them across to all parts of the UAE for instance, including supermarket chains, stores, retailers and other players involved in final selling to the customer. Note that the retail price is what the consumer pays, i.e. the final person buying the food product in question. However, the wholesale price is what the retailer pays to the wholesaler of the food product in question. This price is lower than the retail price (which includes the margin of the retailer selling the product) and hence it is known as the wholesale price. However, in most cases, there are certain conditions to be fulfilled for availing of wholesale pricing which may include purchases in bulk or at least specific quantities.
