The city of Ribeirão Preto has a marketing unit for vegetables (warehouse) to meet the needs of local merchants and neighboring cities, and a warehouse unit. The CEAGESP Ribeirão Preto works only for wholesale purchases (large quantities for resale).
A very important activity developed by the Companhia de Entrepostos e Armazéns Gerais (CEAGESP) is the warehouse (deposit or sale of goods). In the case of CEAGESP, its 13 wholesale warehouses function as a meeting point for producers and traders.
The units in the capital and in the countryside operate as distribution channels for regional production for open-air markets, supermarkets, grocery stores, restaurants and fruit and vegetable distributors. At the same time they contribute to the flow of crops, they move the wholesale and retail trade and lower costs for the consumer.
The CEAGESP makes a link that runs through the entire production and marketing chain of these products, allowing the rural producer and final consumer to come closer. When the consumer buys any of these products (fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, miscellaneous, fish and grains) whether at fairs, super and hypermarkets, restaurants or grocery stores, this merchandise has most likely been purchased through a CEAGESP.
Likewise, it can also be concluded that companies need agribusiness, because without the producer, it is not possible to obtain goods to carry out their activities. These points also highlight the importance of agribusiness in Brazil, which generates numerous benefits, such as: high competitiveness, high degree of use of technology, generation of jobs and wealth for the country.
