A food broker is an independent sales agent that works in negotiating sales for food producers and manufacturers. Food brokers work for both producers and buyers of food as they help sell food products to chain wholesalers, retail stores, independent wholesalers and more.
They are popular products that have won awards for taste. But they are not in most supermarkets because their manufacturers cannot find food brokers to represent them. Food brokers are responsible for the majority of products, edible or not, that end up on grocers' shelves.
