Olives are a favourite and anyone who loves olives buys imported wholesale olives Australia from their supermarket or delicatessen. But how do those olives get there? Well, it is all about the food supply chain…
A wholesale food supplier manufactures some of their own food products and imports other food products. They stock imported and local products and they then supply these products to the supermarkets and delis. It is like a pyramid almost – manufacturers make food, wholesalers make food or import from other manufacturers, the wholesalers stock the food, wholesalers supply the food to shops and shoppers buy the food. It is important to always have an excellent range of food products and to keep the prices as low and reasonable as possible.
Wholesale food
There is a supply chain which means the price of wholesale olives does go through some changes too. The people who grow the olives sell them. A food supplier buys them. The food supplier then sells them to supermarkets or delis. Shoppers buy them. This means there are generally four costs involved, from the grower to the supplier to the shop and to the shopper. Everyone needs to be super aware of price as the shopper at the end of the trail expects good prices. There needs to be awareness all the way through and each supplier or person in the chain or along the trail needs to be afforded wholesale or bulk prices.
It’s not just olives
We have used olives as an example of how things work, from grower to supplier to supermarket to shopper. We could be talking about any food product, from cereals to chocolates to fruit to frozen foods to tinned foods to cheer to bread to pastries and so on. Sometimes there is one less person in the supply chain, usually with local products, but each person or supplier in the chain is important and needs to provide excellent quality at excellent rates. There is generally a good and solid relationship between all the suppliers, with loyalty between all of them. At the end of the day, everyone needs to sell their products and each supplier is dependent on the next person in the chain. Manufacturers need to look after suppliers who need to look after supermarkets who need to look after customers.
Local verse imported products
Some shoppers like buying local while others love imported. And people can do both, at different times too of course. It is a person’s choice what they buy and what they can afford to buy. A supermarket needs to stock different options of all food types for all food shoppers, which is why they always have an excellent range of foods at different price ranges. You will also find that a supermarket works with a wholesale food supplier and stocks a big variety while a deli works with the same supplier but stocks more specialist products including imported wholesale olives Australia. Households can also buy directly from wholesale food suppliers at wholesale prices.
