hey guys recently i have met with my fren and we talked about exporting local products..
- alrdy have cheap local sources - targeting asians residing in overseas, especially western part of the world - cater to individuals, communities, asian marts/small eateries (uncertain yet bcoz worry will destroy own business) - bulk order, weekly or bi-weekly shipment (uncertain on frequency yet) - preservative-free, long expiry food (mostly raw) stuffs that a) cannot be found, difficult to find, or are more expensive at their local place b) must have in asian dishes/desserts/snacks
our biggest problem is we dont know how export business works, how to penetrate the market there, how to handle the distribution over there, etc..
does anyone has similar experience or networks that we can leverage on? hope someone willing to share the how-tos knowledge and contacts

Two ways to solve your biggest problem;
1. Have a counterpart in whichever country you’re planning to sell to i.e. a small sales office to handle the importing process, all the paperwork & govt approvals required.
2. Appoint a local distributor in whichever country you’re planning to sell to. They should handle all the importing process, all the paperwork & govt approvals.

How much capital also depends on you, go back to your drawing board & proceed further, then this will become more visible.
