Final Assignment Weekly Report

 Week 1 : 

                i've decided my comodity to be exported and Sent Letters To The Ministry of trade  from my export destination country.


My comodity is :

CAT FISH

            catfish is one commodity that is have agreat opportunities at this time. If we look,there is many countries in Europe that require a supply of catfish in large numbers. it is this which makes the fish demand becomes higher in the market and open up potential business opportunity that is promising. Livestock catfish is relatively easier when compared to other freshwater fish such as carp or tilapia because it is more resistant to disease and environmental conditions.

My destination country is Switzerland.

               The demand for catfish in Switzerland reached 53 thousand tons per year..and only 3,000 tons of products Swiss.so i think its a large market niche.the market price is also good,one tail catfish in Switzerland appreciated IDR 65.000-IDR70.000, IMAGINE HOW MANY PROFIT that can be taken if we can meet all these demands.

For next step,i have wrote letters to the embassy of The Republic of Indonesia in Switzerland and to SIPPO.to know the information that can support. here's one of the letters I wrote. :
