Why are there so few Specialty Food Distributors?In the past 25 years there has been major consolidation of the distribution industry, led by the two largest specialty food distributors, UNFI and Tree of Life.

You can view it here. https://www.msu.edu/~howardp/organicdistributors.html The graphic is a tiny bit outdated (~2008), but the only major change happened in 2010 when KeHE acquired Tree of Life, and the graphic is well worth looking at.
