The role of wholesale trade in ensuring the continuous movement of goods between producers and consumers, maintaining the stability of the domestic market and increasing the efficiency of trading activities is considered. The analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of the essence of wholesale trade and its functions in the modern economy is carried out. The trends in the development of wholesale trade in the Republic of Uzbekistan have been studied, and the main performance indicators of the Sherzod Zoovet Malham LLC enterprise have been analyzed. It has been revealed that the growth in sales and profits of the enterprise is accompanied by problems of assortment and inventory management related to changes in consumer demand and a decrease in the turnover of individual goods.
