New
markets are often expanding markets. As certain regions of the
world experience higher standards of living, the demand for
quality and value-added products increases. Your company can
grow with these economies by learning to understand foreign markets
and the export process.
GIC Group
is working with producer groups, state departments of agriculture,
and individual firms, to tap into these markets. The federal
government protects small and medium-size companies in their efforts
to export. Organizations can reduce transaction costs and realize
many other benefits through export programs including the Export
Trading Company (ETC) program. An ETC facilitates access to trade,
and working capital financing, and can also provide negotiating strength
with shippers. It also allows member producers to share market
information, under protection from state and federal anti-trust laws.
GIC Group tracks grant opportunities available
to businesses and organizations through federal and state governments.
There may be funds available for feasibility studies and/or start-up
costs for your export initiative. GIC Group can provide
any level of support for your organization, from grant writing to
business plans, financing to export assistance. GIC Group has a
network of potential buyers and strategic partners, which
can work to your mutual advantage. GIC Group supplies expert
market analysis and experience in export matters, as well as the
guidance and administrative skills to see your foreign market
and export promotion project through.
GIC Group's commitment to agribusiness marketing
opportunities was demonstrated as we co-hosted the 2003 U.S.-Cuba
Trade Conference. GIC Group
provides ongoing support that has led to significant sales of U.S. farm products
to the island nation.
In this era of global business, GIC Group can
help find the value hidden in your organization's products and services.
