Understanding Markets

Buyer, Seller, Price agreement

Every market requires a buyer, a seller, and an agreed price for the transaction to take place. Government officials and large buildings are not essential features of all markets.

Physical markets, Online markets, Domestic markets, International markets

Markets can be classified based on location as physical (in-person) vs online (virtual), and domestic (within country) vs international (across borders).

Wholesalers

Wholesalers buy goods in large quantities from producers/manufacturers and then sell them to retailers, who in turn sell to final consumers in smaller quantities.

Preserving perishable goods

Cold storage facilities maintain low temperatures to preserve perishable goods like vegetables, fruits, dairy products, etc., preventing them from spoiling.
