Fruits and vegetales are commonly used food items, which are produced by farmers. The brokers enables those products to reach the marketplace. The broker usually represents a large number of producers, which ensures that the wholesalers and retailers save time, energy, and money by dealing with one broker rather than with many farmer representatives.

They also stay up-to-date on local market conditions, which helps the producers manage and plan their crops better. They are paid on a commission basis by the producers.
