There is a certain feasibility in being an agent for importing yogurt, but some key points should be noted to ensure its reliability. Firstly, the procedures are indeed rather cumbersome. A series of qualifications such as food business license and import and export rights need to be handled. However, a professional agency company like Zhongshitong can be found to help, which can save a lot of trouble.
To ensure the quality, cooperate with regular suppliers and require them to provide detailed product qualification documents, inspection and quarantine reports, etc., to ensure compliance with domestic food safety standards.
From the perspective of market prospects, with the increasing demand of consumers for healthy and diversified foods, imported yogurt has a certain market. But the competition is also fierce, so it is necessary to do a good job in market research and position the target customer groups well.
In actual operation, logistics and transportation are the key. Cold chain transportation should be ensured to prevent the yogurt from going bad. As long as these links are well controlled, being an agent for importing yogurt is relatively reliable.

I think it's quite reliable. Now everyone pays attention to dietary health, and imported yogurt is very popular. However, when looking for suppliers, compare more. Don't just look at the price. Quality is the key.

The procedures are indeed troublesome. If you do it by yourself, you may be completely confused. Finding an agency company will be much faster. In addition, the storage conditions should also be noted. Otherwise, if the yogurt goes bad, you will lose a lot.

You should be familiar with relevant laws and regulations, especially those related to food safety. Otherwise, if there are problems, it will be troublesome. It is best to regularly check the expiration date of the yogurt in stock.

Combining online and offline sales may have a better effect. Use e-commerce platforms to expand the sales channels and at the same time do some promotional activities locally.
