 There is a geographic distribution with foodstuff price, if you are not in the three categories above or not in food selling, catering as a business this might not really concern you. The fact that a raw material you use to make the food is locally source (in closer market) will not get you more profit, simply because you are doing exactly what others are doing. So what you need to simply do is find a location they sell them cheaper and ship them in. I know this might look like another much work, but like I said earlier. I am talking to the category of people in business because you already buy in bulk or better still you can predict your use of this products. Not to talk of foodstuff seller you need this to be in business, so how to be more profitable even this year is to acquire this products cheaper. If you think source from cheaper sources is difficult, simply start by checking your rice price, beans price, garri, oil, etc from another geography add delivery and compare. I bet you

 Food produces order to many have been a thing of short term important. Even though the lockdown as show to us that it have to be better treated than that. Why do many treat it this way? Their can be many reasons for this; - To some it is the money to acquire products,  - while to others it might be an already existing mindset, Let us talk abit on the mindset reason. We think why buy much when I can be buying little by little. This mindset can be right for perishable, but for non perishable it is a total flaw.

As such purchase take you away from just been a final consumer to a retail consumer. This is where saving is done What then can be the solution? The leisure of getting Agric/Food items in good quantities and reduce cost per unit can be enjoy by everyone, you can simply buy togeth
