Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

The Meat, Poultry and Smallgoods Wholesaling industry is under pressure from structural changes in upstream industries and increasing wholesale bypass by retailers. Moreover, consolidation and rationalisation is a feature of this low- to mid-level profit margin industry, as processors are integrating wholesaling operations into their activities.
