Meatless Farm’s Post

It took us 5 years before we decided to take the plunge to list our products into supermarkets, because it is tremendously costly to enter modern trade. The year's sales have been fantastic, mainly because we are helicopter-parents to our brand, ensuring favorable facings and catering the right marketing effort to maximise our brand exposure. A year ago, we were speaking to a few respectable distributors and comparing the options of having Hey! Chips sell thru distributors (to achieve a better economy for everyone), and to self-distribute (more flexibility and control). As a new brand, we chose the latter in the end. I see the promising sales from a year of hard work, but I also wonder if things could have been done differently. Wondering how brands can exercise the same brand control if they had gone through a distributor (to counter agency problem)? 🤔

With the recent recall of over 200,000 pounds of deli meats by Boar's Head, a well-known brand, serves as a stark reminder of the problems plaguing the meat industry in America. As we go about our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the food we put in our bodies. This recall, due to potential contamination with Listeria, is just the tip of the iceberg. It highlights the lack of transparency, accountability, and prioritization of profits over people's health in the meat industry. The fact that such a large quantity of meat was allowed to enter the market, potentially harming consumers, is alarming. Remember, we have one life to live. Lets start choosing and prioritizing the intake of quality food. #Sustainability #Health #Accountability #FoodForThought #People #Community
