NTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT of MEDIUM SIZED FOOD COMPANIES : more & more SME outplace their export department, for many reasons :

ECONOMICAL : The cost of an employee is between 100.00 ? à 150.000 which requires a turnover of 500.000 ? à 1.000.000 ? to be break heaven. Such a turnover would demand years of commercial efforts before being achieved. No small company can invest so much money.

ORGANIZATIONNAL : On top of purely financial
considerations full time employee taking care of the export would be rather disturbing because no small firm will be able to cope with the follow up involved.

TECHNICAL : Hiring and independent would allow to get a real expert for reasonable cost, and only such a professional would be able to achieve the turnover necessary to pay a full time export manager.

MANAGEMENT  : Taking advantage of the independent expert the manager of the company would be in better position to hire and drive its own export manager once the proper turnover will be achieved.
