Lebanon’s economy relies more on imports and few on local production to satisfy the market needs. Due to the current economic situation, locally produced goods are much more needed, and a lot of Lebanese industrialists are grabbing the opportunity to produce locally. SMEs are also looking for ways to export their goods, capitalizing on the quality of their products, and hoping to bring fresh money that will ease the cost of buying raw materials balance.
The USAID-Lebanon Enterprise Development (LED) Project in collaboration with Saber Middle East, Shorouk and Global Foods are pleased to invite you to participate in the LED Virtual Talks 2020: How to Access New Markets?
This webinar targets small, medium, and large companies, and entrepreneurs who are interested to know more about international trade operations with emphasis on export. Based on key business needs, the session will provide the attendees with a common grounding in international market access as well as tools to understand the market access environment and plan the expansion strategy.
The talk will particularly shed light on the need of selecting the right country, the right target markets, and how to set up your export sales by finding the right distribution channels for your products. The webinar also aims to spread awareness about LED and how to benefit from its customized technical assistance
