FMCG Distributors Warn of Threat to Business Model

Imagine companies that make things like food and phones.

They used to rely on distributors to get these things to stores.

Now, some companies are selling directly to customers, which worries the distributors.

They are also upset because their costs have gone up, but they are not making more money.

They say they are treated poorly and aren't protected by formal agreements.

Distributors are also concerned about data misuse and unfair practices with banking tools.

They've met with government officials and plan to fight for fair treatment.
