Distributors
Distributors are a growing group of organisations
who centrally manage and co-ordinate the sale of product through agents. The distributor
is usually acting on behalf of a group of growers and/or packers, and is not a market
agent as such, although they may facilitate direct-to-customer sales on a purely
commission basis.
A distributor has similar needs to a central packhouse, but with the emphasis on reporting
and communication between growers.
