is it necessary for suppliers of goods and services to still rely on the services of middlemen?

Solution

No it is not necessary. For example farmers now sell goods directly to retail chains bypassing many middlemen if not all.companies like xiomi sell phones online from their website. So with the growth in technology it is not necessary. But it doesn\'t mean they are irrelevant Most of the trade is still conducted through middlemen
