Produce dealers connect farmers to processors, schools, exporters and markets. Margins come from aggregation, quality and timing.
Sourcing
Build relationships with farmer groups and pay fairly and promptly.
Quality
Use a moisture meter, sort and clean grain, and avoid mouldy produce that carries aflatoxins.
Storage
Clean, dry, pallet raised stores with pest control. Warehouse receipt systems can help.
Selling
Supply millers, schools, WFP vendors, exporters and regional traders.
Risk
Prices fluctuate. Avoid overpaying at harvest and diversify buyers.
