Resolved
I want to act as an agent for imported food products, but I've heard that some imported food products are not easy to act as an agent for. I'd like to ask everyone, which imported food products might encounter more difficulties during the agency process? Is it because of a short shelf life, low market acceptance, or some other reason? I hope experienced friends can share their insights to help me avoid pitfalls in advance. Thank you!

Generally speaking, imported food products with short shelf lives are difficult to act as an agent for. For example, some fresh baked goods and fresh milk take a long time to transport from abroad to China and then to the sales terminal. Any slight delay can easily lead to them approaching their expiration date or even expiring, resulting in losses.
There are also niche specialty foods with low market acceptance, such as some foods with unique regional flavors or peculiar tastes. Consumers have low awareness and purchase intent, making promotion difficult. Additionally, it is more difficult to act as an agent for foods with high customs inspection and quarantine requirements, such as meats and aquatic products. If inspection fails, not only will the goods be detained, but there may also be risks of fines. These factors must be fully considered when acting as an agent.

For example, some imported high-end chocolates are priced high, and ordinary consumers have limited willingness to purchase them. The market is relatively narrow, and it may take some effort to open up sales channels when acting as an agent.

Some imported foods that require special storage conditions are difficult to act as an agent for. For instance, ice cream that requires full cold chain transportation has high transportation and storage costs. If there are problems in the cold chain, product quality will be affected, leading to significant losses.

Imported health teas are difficult to act as an agent for. The domestic tea beverage market is highly competitive, and consumer habits are already established. It is not easy for such products to seize market share after being acted as an agent.
