Alimentos especiales, Mercados nicho, Distribuidor, Fabricante, MercadeoAbstract
Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar los factores relacionados con las características del producto que el fabricante y el distribuidor consideran para la comercialización de alimentos especiales en mercados nicho internacionales. Para esto se empleó una metodología cualitativa de estudio de casos a través de entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados reflejan que la calidad sigue siendo el factor por excelencia en la negociación del distribuidor/importador con el fabricante para comercializar sus productos en el mercado nicho de alimentos especiales. La relación entre el fabricante y los distribuidores debe ser estrecha y fluida de forma que fortalezca la confianza y estimule el desarrollo de una relación mutualmente beneficiosa a largo plazo.
