Question ID: 193430
I have source of large quantity (container load) of following product:

Malt sugar (rice syrup)
Fermented white maltose (light rice syrup)
Malt extract syrup
Fermented liquid glucose

What I want to know is who will be my best shot for potential buyers
in the United States? I assume it's the brokers for this kind of
product, but I could be wrong.

Please answer with a list of the buyers to contact, either brokers,
suppliers, or manufactures, or
tell me where to locate these buyers, please be specific.

A considerable tip will be added according to the result. Also, please
propose freely your solution with addtional fee. Thanks.

Greetings Sanfroid:

I have 2+ pages of an answer prepared so far but thought I should stop
and ask the container sizes you have.  I've found rice syrup as being
mostly in jugs or bottles and malt extract syrup to be mostly in
barrels.  I need to know the sizes before I invest more time in
finding you sources.

Rice syrup is used as a natural sweetener, malt syrup extract and
fermented maltose are used in beer making, and liquid glucose is used
in icings and in beer making.  This means at least two different types
of brokers will have to be located.  I've an extensive answer for the
rice syrup but I haven't pursued the beer-making because I wanted to
be sure of your container sizes.  Also, I'm wondering how many of each
broker you require in a list and if you want me to confine my searches
to a specific area of the country to make it easier for you when
shipping.  Any clarification you can offer will be of great
assistance.

Best regards,
journalist-ga

Journalist-ga,

I am not sure about the sizes of the container of each product, but I
think it'll be safe to presume the largest, e.g. barrels for malt
extract syrup sounds right to me. 10 will be enough for each list,
less will be fine. I have no geographical preference.

Thank you for the request of clarification. Look forward to your
answer.

Regards,

Sanfroid-ga

Ok, I have the sizes now:

1) one pound bottles, 36 bottles a case
2) 50-pound Tins
3) 500 barrels

Hope this helps.

oops, as u might figured, it was 500-pound barrels

Request for Question Clarification by journalist-ga on 22 Apr 2003 19:27 PDT
That's great info.  Is it possible for you to tell me which products
are in which sizes?  Or do all the products come in a variety of
sizes?

Clarification of Question by sanfroid-ga on 22 Apr 2003 22:33 PDT
I would assume they are all available in the three sizes, but if you
would have to provide different list for different size, I will pay
extra for your effort. Thanks.

Clarification of Question by sanfroid-ga on 27 Apr 2003 21:56 PDT
It's confirmed that all three product come in all three sizes,
bottles, tins, and barrels. Look forward to your answer. -Sanfroid

Greetings Sanfroid:

RICE SYRUP

After reviewing considerable search results, I found that the majority
of rice syrup suppliers to the public are health food concerns.  I
also located numerous companies (see example of
http://www.meadjohnson.com/products/cons-adult-med/2choicenutritionfacts.html)
that make health food products in which rice syrup is contained and I
would assume they purchase it in bulk barrels.

You are in possession of smaller containers such as jugs, cans or
bottles and I have addressed where those may be distributed.

*************

RICE SYRUP

The following are food brokers listed at
http://food.oregonstate.edu/misc/broker.html that seem to meet your
criteria.  The last one is natural foods:

http://www.arnettbrokerage.com/ 
Arnett Brokerage Company is an independent food broker in west Texas
and and New Mexico. Has both wholesale, retail, marketing,
food-service information.

http://chef2chef.com/dir/Business/Food_and_Related_Products/Brokers/index.html
Chef2Chef has a list of brokers that work with food-related companies.
[This site has an extensive list of brokers - I believe you will find
many possibilities there.]

http://www.tcwfoodcoop.com/ 
Tucson CoOp Warehouse is a natural foods distributor that delivers to
buying clubs and retails throughout the SW.

************

If you product is Asian, you may want to contact CTC Food (see
http://www.ctcfood.com/) at 1.800.356.3134 or 650.761.0266.  Their
snail mail is 131 West Harris Avenue, South San Francisco, California,
94080.  Text at their "About Us" page reads "Although we buy in Asia
and the Orient, our corporate office is located in South San Francisco
with branch offices in Los Angeles and Reedley. We have strategically
placed warehouses to help ensure product freshness."

They may be interested in the brand you have and could purchase the
load from you.

************

An article at http://sacramento.bizjournals.com/sacramento/stories/2002/11/11/story3.html
titled "Local rice growers may cultivate new market: Syrup for Asia"
reads in part:

"The Northern California World Trade Center has begun researching a
rice syrup venture. Its staff and local grower Dan Spangler will
travel to South Korea Sunday as part of its market research. The trade
organization received $130,000 from the federal Foreign Agricultural
Service emerging markets program to investigate the project...South
Korea eats most of the rice it produces, so it doesn't have enough to
manufacture a higher-end product with it. Therefore, rice syrup -
produced from the grain in much the same way corn syrup is made from
corn - is "not as readily available," said Brooks Ohlson, executive
director of the local World Trade Center."

Export might be more lucrative but only if you are licensed to ship
overseas.  You may be able to contact the Trade Center and inquire
there about exporting your product.

I located a Vegetarian food source at

Rice syrup is also used in beer making (as well as all the other
products you mentioned) so I looked for wholesalers of beer making
supplies and beer manufacturing distributors.

The following are wholesale distributors of beer making products:

Homebrew Wholesale liquid malt in cans

Request for Answer Clarification by sanfroid-ga on 28 Apr 2003 13:31 PDT
journalist-ga, nice job, although I didn't find in your answer why the
size of container would matter, but that's ok. I raised the price in
the hope to get different lists for each product, and beer making is
not exactly the answer I was expecting. Would you be able to secure
some lists of brokers for specific product? Like, broker for fermented
liquid glucose? Thanks.

Clarification of Answer by journalist-ga on 28 Apr 2003 14:46 PDT
I may have misunderstood your question.  I took your description "What
I want to know is who will be my best shot for potential buyers in the
United States? I assume it's the brokers for this kind of product, but
I could be wrong....Please answer with a list of the buyers to
contact, either brokers,
suppliers, or manufactures, or tell me where to locate these buyers,
please be specific" to mean that you wanted to know where you could
resell the product.

I wanted to know the various sizes so that I could match those sizes
with the sizes on sites I loacted.  It was a point of reference. 
Also, I ran into syrup makers but they made and distributed their own
brands of products and did not distribute those of other
manufacturers.  Because you didn't mention a manufacturer's name on
the containers, I wasn't able to locate information about that
company.  How would you like me to proceed from here?  I have about 5
hours research invested in your question so far.
sanfroid-ga rated this answer:5 out of 5 stars
Although it was not exactly what I wanted (maybe I didn't make self
clear in those "clarification"), the answer itself deserves a 5-star
rating. Good job.

PS. I was hoping someone will propose extra fee for extra answers,
guess not in Google researchers' protocol.
