[Must-See for Food Manufacturers: 3 Case Studies] Where Do Food Exports Stumble? Pitfalls You Should Know Before Starting
Event Outline
When food manufacturers try to take the plunge into exporting, they often get stuck at unexpected points—this is not uncommon in their overseas expansion efforts.
Regulations aren't the only obstacles to food exports.
The selling price at the source may be higher than expected, leading to comparisons with competitors. The shelf life may not be sufficient to cover transportation and the time it takes to reach the store shelves. Domestic labels may not be usable, requiring the extra effort of relabeling. Transactions may begin without deciding on a payment method. In all of these cases, realizing the problem after starting can result in wasted time and money.
On the other hand, many of these pitfalls can be avoided if you know about them beforehand.
Understanding where potential pitfalls are likely to occur before starting is the first step to avoiding unnecessary detours in your overseas expansion.
In this seminar, we will organize the common stumbling blocks we have observed in supporting food manufacturers' exports from the perspectives of price, shelf life, labeling, logistics, and payment collection, and introduce three case studies of companies that have successfully overcome these challenges and moved forward with their exports.
Of the more than 450 companies that have adopted our "Omakase Trading" system, approximately half are food manufacturers.
