Middle men are those agents that help a business source for market for it's products. They have the connects with the market through their vast network.

But these middlemen eat into the profits of manufacturers as they need price concession to be able to make profit themselves. Some even make better profits than the manufacturers.

You can eliminate middle men by selling directly to the consumers. This means you need to make your products accessible to the final users.
How can a business do that when they are located in the rural area? And their market is based in the cities. Do they have to serve only the remote location?

Nope ,you just sell to the final users where you are. The wholesalers which are the middlemen do sell to the final users where they are so producers can do same.

Best thing the business person can do is to arrange for delivery services and go market the products himself in the city. I know of business people that would collapse three days to go sell their products in another state. It would be more profitable in the long run.

It cannot be eliminated because manufactors doesn't have time to sell to retailers so middle men do this work.
