Definition of Exporting
Exporting means the function of international trade whereby goods produced
in one country are shipped to another country for future sale or trade
The sale of such goods adds to the producing nation's gross output
Exports are one of the oldest forms of economic transfer, and occur on a large
scale between nations that have fewer restrictions on trade, such as tariffs or
subsidies.

Strategic Advantages of Exporting
Service companies and manufacturers export to increase sales revenues
Accountants, advertisers, lawyers or solicitor, and consultants export their
services to meet the needs of clients working abroad
Many companies that are not leaders in their domestic markets may more
actively seek export sales as an indirect way to counter the volume advantage
commanded by the market leader
A company may alleviate the problem of excess capacity in the domestic
market
Some companies export rather than invest abroad because of the perceived
higher risk of operating internationally
Exporting enables companies to diversify their activities
Characteristics of Exporters
The probability of being an exporter increases with company size, as defines
by sales revenues
Export intensity, the percentage of total revenues coming from export sales,
is not positively correlated with company size. Rather, the greater the
percentage of exports to total revenues, the greater the degree of export
intensity
Exporting is engaged by both big and small companies. More than two-thirds
of exporters have fewer than 20 employees


Three Phases of Export Development
The three phases of exporting development are-
Phase 1: Pre-engagement
Companies selling goods and services solely in the domestic markets
Companies considering but not currently exporting
Phase 2: Initial Exporting
Companies that do sporadic, marginal exporting
Companies that see lots of potential in export markets
Companies unable to cope with exporting demands
Phase 3: Advanced
Companies become regular exporters
Companies gain extensive overseas experience
Companies may use other strategies for entering markets

Procedure of Exporting
Asses the companys export potential by examining its opportunities and
resources
Obtain expert counseling on exporting
Having export licenses and necessary documents approved
Select a market or markets
Formulate and implement an export strategy

Future of Bangladeshi Products in the
international market
Garment industry is emerging rapidly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and
Korea in Asia. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Sri Lanka have
found the garment industry more attractive to develop their economy from
70s decade
Climate change can be an issue. It may affect the regularity of the growth of
perishable goods, and affect the whole demand-supply chain.
The Bangladesh government continues to court foreign investment, something
it has done fairly successfully in private power generation and gas exploration
and production, as well as in other sectors such as cellular telephony,
textiles, and pharmaceuticals
Womens participation is hopefully going to be higher than present, because
socio economic and cultural views are changing day by day
