COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
As countertrade experts, we implemented a customized strategy using multiple countertrade mechanisms to help our client overcome their challenges and achieve their goals:
Solution #1
Counter-Purchase Agreements: We assisted the client in establishing counter-purchase agreements with key buyers in new markets, ensuring a reciprocal commitment to buy products and services from each other. This increased market access, strengthened trade relationships, and diversified the client’s revenue streams.
Solution #2
Offset Agreements: We facilitated direct and indirect offset agreements with suppliers and partners in various countries. These agreements required the foreign partners to invest in the local economy, resulting in a 70% reduction in production and transaction costs for our client.
Solution #3
Joint Ventures: We helped the client form strategic joint ventures with industry leaders in target markets, allowing them to share resources, technology, and expertise, resulting in increased market penetration and improved competitive positioning.
Solution #4
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Agreements: We supported the client in negotiating BOT agreements for establishing new production facilities in target countries. The facilities were built and operated by foreign partners, then transferred to our client after a predetermined period, increasing their global production capacity and market presence.
Implementation
We guided our client through the implementation process of each countertrade mechanism, ensuring seamless integration and execution. This included identifying suitable partners, drafting and negotiating agreements, and closely monitoring progress to ensure maximum benefit from each mechanism.
