Retailers sell directly to final consumers, and include both store and non-store retailers like department stores, specialty stores, discount stores, vending machines, and direct marketing. Wholesalers sell goods and services to businesses for resale. Logistical organizations plan and control the physical flow of materials and goods to meet customer demand profitably.

Retailers buy products from wholesalers and sell them in smaller quantities directly to end-users. They use various methods like retail stores, vending machines, direct mail, and the internet. Specialty stores cater to specific markets and offer expertise in those products, while convenience stores sell everyday items nearby with long hours. Department stores are located in shopping centers, offer services, and have various departments for different products. Supermarkets and hypermarkets mainly sell food at competitive prices and encourage self-service.

Promar Digest February 2015
While most consumers believe British dairy farmers take good care of their cows, there is still work to be done to inform the 14% who are unsure and address the concerns of the 6% who believe welfare standards are poor. Animal welfare is not a high priority factor for most consumers when purchasing milk, with freshness, pack size and price being more important. A survey found that 1 in 5 consumers would not pay more for higher welfare milk, while most would pay only a small premium of up to 5%. Given current price pressures, increasing costs to achieve only a small price increase would require careful consideration for whether it is worthwhile.

Cooperative marketing societies allow farmers to collectively market and sell their produce. They grade, process, store and transport agricultural goods to help farmers obtain better prices than selling individually. Cooperative marketing brings economy of scale, bargaining power, access to market information and infrastructure, and links farmers to input and credit cooperatives.

Strengthening infrastructure, professional management, coordination between credit and marketing cooperatives, and revitalizing viable societies can help address these issues.
Direct Marketing
This document discusses direct marketing as an alternative to traditional commodity crop marketing systems. It provides an overview of direct marketing, including why farmers may choose it, the importance of marketing to farm success, and examples of direct marketing approaches. Direct marketing allows farmers to capture a larger share of consumer food dollars by selling products directly to consumers and developing niche markets. However, direct marketing requires significant time and effort in sales, promotion and developing customer relationships. The document provides resources for farmers interested in exploring direct marketing options.

Exploring Alternative Distribution Channels For Agro Exports.pdf
Agricultural producers are constantly looking for novel ways to broaden their market reach and boost sales of their products in today's globalized world. Historically, agro exports have relied on conventional distribution channels, involving middlemen like wholesalers and retailers. Alternative distribution channels, like online platforms and direct-to-consumer sales, have, however, emerged as effective solutions due to the development of technology and shifting consumer preferences. Let us examine the advantages, difficulties, and actual examples of utilizing these alternative channels for Agricultural Exports:
Ron Strolic organic marketing barriers
This document summarizes a study on improving markets for small and mid-sized organic growers in California. The study found that marketing is a major challenge for most farmers, with issues like volume fluctuations, lack of price premiums, and accessing markets. Buyers also face challenges obtaining consistent supply from smaller farms. The document recommends farmers compete on values rather than price, diversify marketing channels, and improve quality and communication. It suggests buyers educate growers and coordinate supply. Policymakers could support organic programs and connect farmers and buyers online. Non-profits could provide farmer education and distribution infrastructure support.
