Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calhoun Produce acts as a middleman between the tomato growers and the auction market, receiving a commission on the sale of the tomatoes. This role is commonly referred to as a commission merchant. A manufacturer's agent typically represents the interests of the manufacturer, while a selling agent and selling broker focus more on promoting and marketing products. A commission broker may act as an intermediary in negotiations but does not typically take possession of the goods being sold.
