Our fees
Food brokers generally charge a commission that will vary depending on the volume of products being sold and the amount of labor required to sell them. Food brokers will negotiate a commission fee and discuss the option of paying for additional services such as organizing promotion schemes and market research.
Our strength
MadenLebanon is an international FMCG / food broker for businesses of all sizes. We will customize our services for both small and large businesses to meet their needs. Food broker services offer the expertise to help you break into a market and get your product on the shelves at a minimum cost. Food brokers have several clients so they can charge a lower rate than having a dedicated National sales manager as their overheads are shared by other manufacturers and producers.
The role of a food broker is to act as a selling agent for food manufacturers and producers. They work on behalf of their clients to negotiate sales of their products to wholesalers and retailers. A broker has extensive knowledge about local markets and has strong connections with food businesses that can prove invaluable to their clients. Food brokers provide marketing services as well. Primarily, food brokers are sales people, and a good food broker knows how to market your product to potential buyers and work towards getting maximum sales volumes for your product.
