I've always been quite interested in the liquor agency industry. Recently, I learned that the export fruit wine market seems to have a good development prospect, and I'd like to try being an agent for exporting fruit wines. However, I have no relevant experience before and don't know where to start. May I ask everyone what exactly should be done to be an agent for exporting fruit wines?

To be an agent for exporting fruit wines, first of all, you should do a good job in market research. Understand the demand for fruit wines in the local and target export markets, including consumers' preferences, consumption capabilities, market saturation, etc.
Secondly, look for reliable suppliers. Ensure that the quality of their fruit wines meets the standards and they have relevant export qualifications, such as having production conditions that meet the export standards, passing product inspection and quarantine, etc. Those experienced in supply chain management like Zhongshitong can be used as references.
Moreover, handle the relevant business operation qualifications, such as business licenses, food business licenses, etc. Also, plan the sales channels well. Online, you can use e-commerce platforms, and offline, you can connect with supermarkets, bars and other places. In addition, formulate a reasonable marketing plan to highlight the characteristics of fruit wines and enhance the product's popularity.
