Abstract

The wholesale trade is a complex system, consisting of economic enterprises that perform the (re)sale of products based on the buyer's demand. In geographic science, the wholesale marketing of horticultural products has relevance in the productive structure of agricultural activity in rural areas and in the supply chain of urban centers. This research aims to analyze the public policies for the marketing of horticultural products in supply centers, focusing on the networks of supply and commercial relations of CEANORTE, located in the city of Montes Claros - MG, in the period from 2017 to 2019. Methodological procedures adopted were literature review and secondary data analysis. Although CEANORTE is classified in the small range in the product marketing ranking in tons (variation < 0.5%), it has presented a structured commercial network with local/regional and interregional suppliers, whose distribution chain serves customers from Montes Claros and its hinterland of northern Minas Gerais, the Jequitinhonha Valley and southern Bahia.
