COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
We implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms to address the client’s challenges and drive exponential growth. The following mechanisms were employed:
Solution #1
Counter-Purchase: We facilitated agreements with buyers in new markets who committed to purchasing our client’s products in exchange for the client purchasing goods or services from these markets.
Solution #2
Offsets (Direct and Indirect): We negotiated agreements with suppliers, resulting in investments in the client’s home country and purchases of goods and services from local suppliers.
Solution #3
Joint Ventures (JVs): We helped establish joint ventures with strategic partners in key markets, enabling the client to leverage local knowledge and resources to penetrate new markets more effectively.
Solution #4
Co-production: We collaborated with partners in different countries to develop and manufacture our client’s products, reducing production costs and increasing efficiency.

Engaged in negotiations with suppliers, buyers, and JV partners to reach mutually beneficial agreements.
