Selling Organic Food Products in the United Kingdom

According to the most recent statistics released by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the United States exported nearly $70 billion worth of goods to the U.K. in 2019. The value of American exports to the U.K. increased by more than four percent in just one year. Overall, American exports to the U.K. accounted for four percent of all exported goods during 2019.

Most exporters working for American companies sell their products through distributors that know how to reach U.K. customers and follow the custom regulations imposed by the U.K. government. U.K. distributors sell organic food products by reaching the appropriate target audience in larger cities like London and Birmingham. American Better-for-You food companies reach U.K. consumers by selling to distributors that provide after-sales services, which U.K. consumers value for most types of American exported products.

Knowing how to sell to U.K. distributors once required a considerable amount of research before you gathered enough information to make a profitable decision. By using the Grovara eCommerce platform, your natural food and beverage company leaves the research process to our team of export experts, which allows you to spend more time developing new products and fine-tune your brand’s business model to decrease operating expenses.
