EXPORT MANAGEMENT
MODULE 1
Export refers to the sale of goods or services produced in one country to buyers
located in another country. It is an essential component of international trade
and plays a significant role in the global economy. Exporting allows businesses
to expand their customer base beyond domestic borders, tapping into new
markets and opportunities for growth. Exports are the goods and services one
country sells to other countries. A country's flow of exports can impact its
economy and the entire global economy. If ONE IS interested in international
trade, foreign relations or how you can expand your business, consider learning
about exports.
What are exports?
Exports are the goods and services that a country produces domestically, or
within the borders of its own country, and sells to buyers in a foreign country.
The opposite of exports are imports, which are goods and services that buyers in
a country purchase from sellers in a foreign country. Exports and imports are
components of international trade, which is the exchange of goods and services
between countries. Trade barriers such as tariffs, taxes on imports, and
subsidies, funding given to domestic businesses, can affect a country's flow of
exports.
A country's trade balance is the difference between the values of its exports and
imports. In macroeconomics, which is the study of global economies, the value
of a country's exports minus its imports is its gross domestic product (GDP). If a
country's exports outweigh its imports, it has a trade surplus. If its imports
outweigh its exports, it has a trade deficit. A country's GDP or trade balance can
measure the fiscal health of a country because it represents the value of a
country's goods and services produced in a certain time period.
Typically, a country has a competitive advantage on its exports. This means that
it has the natural ability to produce certain goods and services in a high quality
and quantity, often based on its climate and geographic region. For example,
because of the tropical climate of Brazil, its largest export is sugarcane.
,As components of both domestic and global economies, a country's exports can
have far-reaching effects on businesses and consumers all around the world.
Here are some reasons why exports are important
