A D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) business model is often a win-win for all parties. As consumers become increasingly aware of their purchasing decisions, they are influenced by a growing number of things. These include: nutritional benefits, carbon impact and ethical process of where products come from.Producers who are considering expanding or transforming their current operations to include a D2C model can enjoy many benefits. So a D2C model can not only provide a new source of revenue, it may help in building consumer trust.
