What challenges do factories face to export their products to Germany and the EUROPEAN Union?
Industries are always trying to introduce their brand to the world by being present in the export markets, especially in the market of European countries, in addition to increasing the number of sales, earning foreign currency. But this is not easily possible for the following reasons:
- Entering the German market and eu countries requires market research and gaining sufficient recognition of this market. For many small and medium-sized manufacturers, collecting this information is not easily possible or requires paying a huge fee.
- Goods imported to Germany must meet the standard required for entry. Without these standards, the goods will not be allowed to enter Germany.
- Factories should be aware of operating costs including the shipping, warehousing and distribution of goods costs in Germany in order to be able to properly calculate the cost of the goods.
- The majority of the country’s exports, especially in the field of food, are carried out indirectly by intermediary companies and their brand, so manufacturers are never given the opportunity to raise their brand in international markets.
- Export of goods requires planning and continuous presence in the market, unfortunately this is not done properly by intermediary companies due to irregular exports and dispersion in doing it.
- Exporting means earning foreign currency, while in practice earning this type of income is not easily possible for many companies, and due to the transfer of the export process to intermediary companies, in fact, the sale is only done in rials.
- The German and EU markets are divided into two parts: the foreign market (minority) and the market of non-foreign citizens in these countries (majority).
Indirect exports by intermediary companies are usually limited to the minority market and there are no regular plans to enter the majority market.
