Today, we would be talking about export business contract for farmers. It is a continuation of Exportation masterclass which we started some weeks ago. After understanding the basic basics of embarking on an export transaction, the next step would be to find a real foreign buyer / consignee / importer for the product you have chosen to export. The potential importer may place an order for your products upon receipt of your letter of proposal / offer to supply the product in question. This is where the export business contract comes in.
The request / order for your goods by a foreign importer is called a firm EXPORT ORDER and you as the exporter must ensure that it is genuine.

ONLINE METHOD
The online method involves using online shopping portals to locate business opportunities posted on the Internet that indicate an interest in buying Nigerian products. It also involves using emails to respond to these offers to buy Nigerian products.
ROLES OF THE INTERNET IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
At this point, I am pleased to mention that the roles of the Internet, especially in international relations, cannot be overstated.
