Commercial intermediary for organic food in Southern Italy: your products in Puglia and Basilicata

I am Lorenzo Cesario, an independent commercial intermediary specialised in organic and healthy food. I sell B2B to specialised retailers and food service in Puglia and Basilicata. If you are a producer who wants to enter or grow in Southern Italy, I can be your person on the ground.

Why work with me

• I was a shop owner myself. I ran an organic food shop in Corato, so I know how a retailer decides what goes on the shelf, how rotation works and what end customers ask.
• Direct relationships with the shops. I visit my customers in person, present new products, pass on the monthly promotions by WhatsApp and email, and bring you honest feedback from the market.
• Online ordering for my retailers. My customers in Puglia and Basilicata can check price lists and send orders online at any time through my B2B portal. Your range can be added to it.
• Orders go straight to you. You invoice and ship directly to the retailer: I build and follow the customer relationship.

Who I sell to

Organic and health food shops, pharmacies and parapharmacies, herbalists, delicatessens, gourmet and high-end food stores, wine shops, restaurants and wine bars.

Territory

Puglia and Basilicata: provinces of Bari, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce, Taranto, Matera and Potenza.

Brands I currently work with

• Econoce (Euro Company, Ravenna): organic nuts and dried fruit, 100% nut spreads, plant-based cheeses made from nuts.
• Le Spinèe (Azienda Agricola Durante): organic and vegan wines.

Out of respect for the companies I work with, I only take on products that do not compete with their ranges.

What I am looking for

Producers of organic, natural, clean label, vegan or gluten-free food and drinks, from Italy or abroad, who:

• have a clear range and a price list for the Italian market;
• can deliver to shops in Italy, directly or through a distributor;
• want to build a lasting presence in the South, not a one-off sale.

How we can work together

Collaboration on commission. Orders are passed directly to you, and you invoice and ship to the retailer.
