  1. Food trading, what exactly is it?
    <\/strong>Food trading is about buying and selling food products, both nationally and internationally. As a food trader you make sure that food (in the case of K\u00fchne + Heitz frozen products such as meat, vegetables, and dairy products) gets to the right place. That could be a supermarket, restaurant, or food processing plant. You can imagine that this involves quite a bit: from finding the right supplier to checking the quality, negotiating the price, and arranging the logistics.<\/li><\/ol>

    1. What do you need to be able to do, to become a food trader?
      <\/strong>You don’t actually learn this trade in school. It is a matter of getting flight hours and also has to do with aptitude. You have to be an expert at multitasking, not shy away from responsibility and have the courage to take decisions at the ‘moment supr\u00eame’. That requires tactical insight, a sense of timing and: guts. It is also important that you have a strong social component. After all, in this profession you are constantly communicating. With suppliers, customers and your colleagues.
