If you were to speak to any food broker in this market I believe that every one would say the same thing- “No individual broker can be everything to every customer.” There are many food brokers in the New York Metro Market with their own specialization and philosophies, each having an individual relationship with their customers. Most food brokers know that you can’t always build your business on relationships and philosophy, although this is a “people” business. To achieve your sales goals you must take the product to the market.

The New York Metro Market – our area of primary focus – is like no other in the United States. It encompasses a bewildering diversity of all types of foodservice and retail accounts servicing every conceivable type of customer from supermarkets to industrial feeders to restaurants featuring cuisine from every part of the world. The New York market demands a degree of sophistication beyond anything needed in any other market. Here at R. LaBarca & Associates we understand that diversity and we have the sophistication and knowledge to properly service the New York Metro Market!

PARTNERSHIP

· We strongly believe in the “partnership” approach to business. It is a term used often in today’s business environment, and unfortunately has lost its importance to some larger brokers. We provide a high level of service to our customers and we only represent manufactures with quality products. This enables us to form true partnerships that ensure our mutual success.
