Development of wholesale market

Since the emergence of commodity exchange with money as the medium in human society, with the development of commodity production, the purchase and sale of commodities have gradually increased and the circulation scope has been expanding. It is often difficult for producers and retailers to exchange goods directly, or it is more advantageous to buy and sell goods directly between them than to use intermediary business as a medium, which leads to the wholesale business of buying goods directly from producers and then reselling them to other producers or retailers. The emergence of wholesale business has made the division of labor between wholesale and retail within the commercial field, and there has been a business that has no direct relationship with consumers. With the further development of commodity economy, the contradiction between commodity production and consumption in time, space and distribution is expanding day by day, which leads to the commodity circulation of wholesale commercial organizations, which often needs to be completed through more than two commercial links, not one. Therefore, wholesale business is divided into origin wholesale, sales wholesale and transit or distribution center wholesale between these two kinds of wholesale. This is the result of the development of division of labor within the commercial sector, and it is also an intermediate business that specializes in wholesale trade and is inserted between producers and producers, producers and retailers. Its function is to buy goods from producers through buying and selling, and then sell them to other producers or retailers.
