Buying wholesale grocery smartly is the backbone of a profitable kirana store. This guide covers the essentials of MOQ planning, seasonal buying, stock rotation and margin protection.
1. Understand your daily off-take
Track top-moving SKUs weekly and buy those in larger packs; slow movers should be bought in smaller quantities.
2. Ask for a written quotation
Always request a written quotation covering pack size, MOQ, price, GST and delivery timeline before confirming an order.
3. Balance branded vs generic
Keep an assortment of well-known packs and generic alternatives to serve every price point.
