Healthy Food Distribution of Value
Food Distributors make their profit by providing supply to a demand. The world is always in need of food, so it’s a fairly secure income for them. And given the growing population and the higher demand in other jobs that are much less tasking than farming, fewer people are getting into the business of providing fresh food themselves. With this decrease in supply, at least in the North American countries, the necessity of food distribution companies is becoming more and more predominant, since they are the sole providers of food in certain areas such as central metropolitan cities and uncultivable lands where farms can’t be successfully maintained.
These food distribution companies lock down certain industries with relative ease. Fresh meat, for example, is significantly easier for them to mass produce through their automated and efficient slaughterhouses than from a farmer or a butcher in this day and age, being both cost and time effective for the distributor, the market and the consumer themselves. Instead of waiting to get a cut of meat they can simply take it from the shelves and throw it in their card, making it significantly easier for everyone and practically killing the entire industry of slaughterhouses and meat production by monopolizing it.
Of course in Europe and similar parts of the world this is still not a popular option. There are supermarkets, but there are also butchers in all major residential areas ready to provide fresh meat with a much more personal touch or bakers able to provide oven fresh goods. How long this lasts is all depending on the culture of the areas wherein they exist, but soon enough the monopoly will spread and supermarkets and food distribution companies will be the only place to get food since it’s more convenient and easier for everyone, a very important factor in this day and age.
