摘要: |
The $51.6 billion of U.S. agricultural exports in calendar year 2000 was $3.1 billion more than in 1999, a 6.4-percent jump. This increase broke the 3-year string of annual declines that started in 1997. U.S. exports of high-value agricultural products accounted for $2.2 billion or two-thirds of the export gain in 2000. Taking advantage of these growing export opportunities is not limited by company size. Many small to medium-size companies are successfully selling their products overseas. Is your company ready to take advantage of these export opportunities. Have you developed an international marketing plan. Do you know which foreign market(s) hold the greatest potential and risk for your product(s) and have you located foreign customers. These are a few of the questions your company needs to answer before shipping product(s) overseas. This publication provides you with a list of resources to help answer these questions. But mainly, the handbook looks at the transportation portion of the export process, that is, how to physically move agricultural products overseas with a focus on shipping high-value or value-added agricultural products. (Limited information on shipping bulk commodities is included.) / Supplementary Notes: See also report dated Aug 97, PB98-173701. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
