Dear nairalanders,
I know there are experienced bussiness people in the house especially in this area of wholesale food store, I am about to start one, can you share your experiences and views on the following:
1)Where to source for products in wholesales, importantly on getting distributorship
2)Risk factors
3)Steps to take to avoid pitfalls
4)How to market products
5)Other things you think starters should know.
Expecting your contributions.
Happy new year in advance

first of all you need to know the type of foodstuff you want to go into as we have various state that grows different food stuff in large quantities than the other ,after then you need to source for markets for the products ,moreover you need to have a contact person both side at the buying point and selling the moment you strike the deal and do your logistic properly you keep the ball rolling wishing the best of luck

Papa pee, what a bright suggestion, thanks. I intend starting with rice and vegetable oil, I already have some customers on the selling side, but I'm still working on a suitable source to buy, and because I want to start on a large scale, I need a source with whom I can possibly be a distributor. Anyone who perharps knows any link can post reply please. Thanks
