Explain the difference between the practices of forward buying and diverting

What will be an ideal response?


Forward buying is the practice of purchasing and warehousing a large volume of product offered through a case allowance, drawing on the warehoused product until the manufacturer offers another discount. Diverting is similar. It involves selling the warehoused product after the manufacturer's discount has expired at a price below the manufacturer's regular price but high enough for the selling company to make a profit.
