Why Export?
Today, improvements in finance, market knowledge, and communications technology have dramatically increased business access to markets worldwide. Many business studies have shown that companies that export are more likely to be profitable, spread their risk, and grow faster. Exporting is good for your bottom line.
Exporting is also about understanding what is going on with your product or service in the global village. One day a foreign company may come into your only market with a newer, better and possibly cheaper product to replace yours. Even one trip a year to a carefully selected International Trade fair will enable you to find your otherwise unknown competitors, see how they are developing their products, and what the price point is.
