The term "wholesale" refers to trading companies that provide products in large quantities to retailers, restaurants, hotels, and others providing goods to consumers.
In contrast to the retail trade, the goods are not sold to consumers, but to commercial resellers (for example, retailers or kiosks), processors (restaurants, hotels) or commercial users (for example, public authorities or canteens).
The range of products offered by wholesalers may include goods from producers all over the world.
