WHOLESALE
Selling in quantity to a buyer who then resells the product. Most agricultural products in the US are sold through wholesale channels. Small farmers may sell wholesale directly to local grocery stores, natural food stores, food service establishments, and food buying co-ops or to buyers who then serve as the middle men in the marketing chain.
