What is a bulk?

A bulk refers to a large quantity of a certain substance that is typically stored or transported in loose, unpackaged form. Examples of bulk products include grain, coal, oil, sand, and gravel. Bulk products are often moved via large cargo ships, trains, or trucks, and stored in silos or other specialized containers. The bulk transportation and storage industry plays a critical role in global trade, commerce, and industrial production. Bulk goods are generally cheaper to produce and buy than packaged products, but may require specialized equipment and handling processes to move and store effectively.
