Business — Stockist, Wholesale & Vending

Malaysian insect-food brands including ento have offered stockist/wholesale and vending machine programmes for cafes, gyms, offices, and retailers.

Stockist & wholesale

Typical wholesale arrangements supply cafes, health food shops, and corporate pantries with minimum order quantities, branded display materials, and flavour assortments.

Vending machines

Insect snack vending has appeared in co-working spaces, universities, and gyms. Machines need climate control in Malaysia's heat and regular restocking to maintain product quality.

Due diligence

• Request food safety certificates and halal documentation from suppliers
• Sample products before committing to shelf space
• Clarify return policies on near-expiry stock

To enquire about partnering with ento directly, contact the brand through their official sales channels listed on where to buy.
