- Prices on EXW or FCA Conditions;

How to build a successful cooperation with qualified food suppliers.
In some cases, a third-party supplier inspection can be useful before making a purchase, especially for long-term contracts.
If and when all provided information meet your criteria, you can consider signing a purchase agreement.
Suppliers may offer their own standard agreements, or the agreement of the buyer can be taken into consideration as an alternative.
It is important that in the purchase agreement all essential aspects of cooperation are specified, including the parties’ obligations, deliveries and payment terms, liabilities and so on.
Once you are in business with your supplier, it is recommended to constantly monitor and record all crucial aspects of your cooperation.
Pay attention to the quality of delivered products, accuracy and timing of deliveries, and all contractual obligations.
Diversify Your Supply Chain
Avoid dependency on a single supplier for important product categories in your supply chain.
It is recommended to have multiple regular suppliers within the market niche you are operating in, in order to have sufficient flexibility in satisfying your market demand and excluding the delivery failure risk of a single supplier.
Market Monitoring
Monitor your market demands and regularly check new offers from your current and other food suppliers in order to be able to offer your customers products that they need.
Provide regular feedback to your suppliers about your customers’ demands and preferences. This will benefit both you and your suppliers in your mutual business development.
