It is the most important part of any company as well as Milk Vita. Distribution of any company is very much effective, Milk vita knows that and takes the proper strategies to distribute their milk and milk product to the market.
Companies are legally free to develop strong channel arrangements which will suit them. In fact, the laws affecting channels seek to prevent the exclusionary traffics of some companies that might keep another company from using a desired channel. Most channel law deals with the mutual rights and duties of the channel members once they have formed a relationship.
Many distributor and wholesalers like to develop exclusive channels for their product that are:
- Exclusive Distribution
- Exclusive Dealings
- Exclusive Territorial Managements
Producers are free to select dealers, but their right to terminate dealers is somewhat restricted.
