Why Consider
Exporting?
Increase
Sales and
Profits: Sell to new markets while more effectively utilizing
plant
capacity.
Reduce
Dependence
on Existing Domestic Markets and Stabilize Market Fluctuations: By
expanding into foreign markets, the firm will increase its marketing
base
while reducing its exposure to seasonal variations.
Overseas
Growth:
Exports of consumer food products are growing three times faster than
sales
here in the U.S. They have soared in recent years in response to
consumers'
growing purchasing power and lower trade barriers.
Overseas
Potential:
95% of the world's population and two-thirds of total world purchasing
power are located outside of the United States. Imagine the potential,
as the world becomes more integrated, and develops similar likes for
products.
Small
Companies Can
Be Successful Exporters: It's a popular misconception that only
large
companies can succeed overseas. Indeed, many small companies have
"unique"
or "niche-type" products that are always in demand overseas!
International
Markets
More Accessible: Trade liberalization has helped to remove trade
barriers
and open up new markets for U.S. food and agricultural products, and
this
trend will likely continue. Consider, for example, the case of Japan.
Fifteen
years ago the country was highly protectionist and largely closed to
U.S.
exporters; today it is the #1 market for U.S. food and agricultural
exports.

know how or where to get started. Fortunately, help is available! Continental
