We continue the series of business ideas for food trading. This is a very important and sought-after market segment, so we could not bypass these products. And in this article we will talk about trade in milk and other dairy products.
Business Features and Format
The dairy business has a number of specific factors that stop many entrepreneurs. Firstly, due to the high demand for these products in the market, serious competition has formed in this industry. Secondly, the product perishes quickly, and accordingly there is an option to make a loss with a certain volume of goods. But at the same time, buyers love specialty stores, where a huge selection of products of one type is provided, and it is this fact that encourages entrepreneurs to open specialized stores of dairy products.
There are also many formats for trading this product, let's look at the main ones.
Types of milk trade:
— selling milk from a car on the street. Representatives of certain manufacturers often work in this format. On market days, they come and sell products from a truck right on the street near the market. For such trade you will need to obtain a trade permit.

One of the advantages of this approach is a large number of customers in food markets, low costs, the ability to work with various manufacturers.
— trade in homemade bottled milk. This format is preferred by grandmothers from the village, who keep several cows on their farm and go to sell homemade milk to the nearest markets. They also sell the same milk on the streets of the city, often in densely populated areas. A trade permit will need to be obtained in any case.
- and the last point, this is nothing more than opening a full-fledged dairy store, with rent of retail space for the store. This is the most expensive and most difficult path for a new entrepreneur, especially if start-up capital limited.
