Buyer-first sourcing
Use this path when you already know the product and quantity you need, but want help identifying a realistic supplier route.
Send buyer request →Food supplier RFQ
Send a food and beverage RFQ that suppliers can actually review
A useful buyer request is more than “send price”. Share product specification, quantity, destination, packaging, documents and timing so Finder Mill can understand what you need.
Best fitWholesale, pallet, truckload or container-level food and beverage requests
Best for buyers who already know the product type, volume, destination and target timing.
What to include
Six details that make a buyer request workable
- Exact product and specification, not only a broad category
- Quantity: trial order, pallets, truckload, container or annual volume
- Destination country and preferred delivery terms if known
- Packaging format, private-label needs and label language
- Certificates, import documents or compliance needs
- Timeline, target price range and company identity
Supplier search
If the request is specific enough, Finder Mill can research suitable producers, exporters or distributors and filter obvious mismatches.
How sourcing works →Private follow-up
Supplier materials, brands, prices and documents are handled privately after the buyer need looks serious enough to discuss.
View sourcing categories →RFQs that are usually too weak
One-line price requests, missing destination, unclear quantity, unrealistic target prices or anonymous buyer details usually cannot move directly to supplier outreach. Finder Mill may ask clarification questions before approaching anyone.
