German term or phrase: Landhandel
This is from a marketing presentation about the pet food/care industry. The following list is from a bar graph:

Gesamtmarkt
Baumärkte/Gartencenter
***Landhandel***
Pet Shop < 300qm
[Name of company in question]
Pet Stores > 300qm
Drogeriemärkte
Harddiscounter
Softdiscounter

Does anyone have any idea what "Landhandel" is here? Does it refer to sellers of farm produce? Any pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

farm supplies
Explanation:
I don´t think farm *produce* is the right term, more like *supplies*. Could also be "farm supplies and services".

Explanation:
...would be my guess(es) - there is also apparently more than one pet store (if you know what I mean). ;-)

agree  Klaus Herrmann: Place to buy all the stuff farmers need (as opposed to Schrebergärtner), like seeds, not produce grown on a farm. (There was a Landhandel next to my Raiffeisenbank)
