How you can use this list
- These buyers fall into three paths to market for suppliers: (A) direct vendor onboarding via supplier portals (large chains like Carrefour Brasil, GPA, Grupo Éxito, Cencosud, Walmart Chile), (B) regional marketplaces (Mercado Libre, Amazon Brazil), or (C) local wholesalers / closeout importers that supply many small discount stores. I verified supplier portals exist for several of the top groups.
