With a future vision of becoming a one-stop-shop for the f&b businesses and expanding to the B2C market, they commissioned Blue Hat, to perform an extensive market research that gathers local and international insights on the food distribution industry, f&b market and on the changing consumer behavior.

2. What are the latest trends and updates happening in the food distribution industry locally?
