Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food and Agricultural Export Directory, 1970 Potential exporters will first want to know if they have a product that will sell in the foreign market. If, because of competition, duties, foreign tastes, or other reasons there is little hope for developing a foreign market for a particular product, this is worth knowing, too, before time and money are risked. The Foreign Agricultural Service, generally known as fas, is one of the many agencies that can help you. Fas has agricultural attaches at all leading export markets and a corps of trade promotion specialists in Washington to assist in locating and developing a'market for your product overseas. Additional assistance can be obtained from the State Departments of Agriculture, trade associations, and other government and private export services listed in this directory. If the preliminary findings indicate that an export market can'be developed, the product is ready for test marketing. An easy, inexpensive market test can be conducted at one of the international trade fairs or food exhibits at overseas u.s. Trade Centers in which fas and the American food trade participate each year. A representative of the firm, with order book in hand, should be present at this market test to talk with buyers about the possibilities of the product. If conditions warrant, a foreign agent for the product could be selected at this time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
