Agents also rely on strong communication and negotiation skills, as well as the ability to navigate complex supply chains and logistics. Additionally, they may require access to market research data, industry databases, and transportation services to support their brokerage activities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by NACE code 46.14 are the successful facilitation of wholesale transactions involving machinery, industrial equipment, ships, and aircraft.
