We just started our import/Export business. We have a few very good staple grocery products
from overseas. Can anyone whare some experience with finding buyers?

Thanks

Frank

It is great that you started your import / export business. Interesting that you have a "few very good staple
grocery products" Tell us more. WHAT are the products and WHY did you buy them??
Do you have a MARKETING PLAN?? Are you talking wholesale?? Retail??

Have you tried some of the specialty stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joes?

Right now we have organic grown fig fruit jam and tea. We will have instant Osmanthus powder for baverage. We have not seen these products on the market.

Thanks

We haven't bought large quantities. We have some samples. We have not seen
these products on the market in the US. The fruits are organic. We have fig jam and tea.
We will have Osmanthus drink powder.

Thanks

We are certainly looking into that. Although we don't have much experience working with large grocery stores such as whole food. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check out http://www.gourmetretailer.com/gourmetretailer/index.jsp. This is a publication for the food and retail industry. Am not sure if they have any B2B info similar to what you are looking for. But you could try them. All the best.
