Dear Cycas,
In a very interesting report on doing agro-business in the New England
area, the Canadian government writes, that "In the New England market
food brokers are used almost exclusively. Doing business through
brokers is preferred at the Boston Produce Market, when dealing with
the grocery trade and when entering the foodservice market." The
maintain, that "The produce marketing system in New England is
dominated by the Boston Produce Market." (Source: Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada, 1997. "New England - Market Profile"
<http://atn-riae.agr.ca/info/us/e1327.htm>. This source is highly
recommended reading on the subject of food-products marketing in
Massachusetts).
Food Wholesalers, Distributors and Food Brokers
================================================
According to the same report, "The wholesalers handle large volumes of
product to supply large retail chains. Service wholesalers buy truck
lots of produce for delivery to local wholesalers who service local
distributors and small retailers. Jobbers usually purchase small
quantities for specific finalclients, i.e. cruise ships or the hotel,
restaurant and institution (HRI) trade. The brokers and sales or buyer
representative perform any and all of the transactions identified
above for a negotiated commission. Many of the U.S. buyers prefer to
work through brokers." (ibid.).
I collected this comprehensive list from several sources, listed

TV, radio and Cable
===============
Most TV, radio and cable stations do not have a special food
reporter/critics. Moreover, many columns, shows or reports are
syndicated. Usually, one finds the food critics in the mother network.
Mr Food, for example, works on many ABC related channels. However,
here are few contacts, including a show that is located in
Massachusetts.

its name to NECN, and in WZB radio
WHDH-TV 7 Bulfinch Place Boston MA 02114

Search Strategy
============
For the food brokers/distributors, I searched for “distributors OR
brokers” with the word “food” and the term “MA” (Massachusetts). I
also searched for similar words, such as wholesalers. For the TV and
Radio stations, I made a list of radio stations and TV stations (or
Cable) in Massachusetts, and added the terms "food show" or "food
critic".
I think that answered your question. However, if you need any further
clarifications, please let me know. I’d be pleased to clarify the
answer before you rate it. |
