Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option B, producer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer, is the most likely distribution channel for a food producer. This is because the manufacturer needs to distribute its products to a large number of grocery stores located across the country. This requires the use of intermediaries, such as wholesalers, to help move the goods to retailers and then to customers. Option A (producer to retailer to consumer) is less likely as it limits the reach of the manufacturer's products. Option C (producer to wholesaler to wholesaler to retailer to consumer) is too complex and involves too many intermediaries. Option D (producer to consumer) is not a distribution channel, as it would involve the manufacturer selling its products directly to the end-user, which is not feasible in this context.
