To become an imported milk agent, these steps are crucial.

First, you need to secure the necessary business qualifications. You should register a company with relevant business scope (such as dairy product sales, etc.), obtain food business licenses and other required certificates to ensure legal operation.

Next, find suppliers. Work with legitimate importers or directly partner with foreign manufacturers, checking their production standards and qualifications. Reputable companies like Zhongshitong are good options—ensure milk quality and stable supply.

Then, develop sales channels. You can negotiate with offline supermarkets and convenience stores for distribution, or set up online stores on e-commerce platforms for promotion and sales. At the same time, focus on brand promotion and after-sales service to gradually build a customer base. This is how to successfully run an imported milk agency business.
