In pursuit of these objectives we promote competitiveness, increase internationalization and expand profitability. We focus on making your goods and services known in a broader way.
Import
When the organizational objectives include interfacing with other countries, importation can be a hugely profitable business activity. Importation brings in foreign products or services in order to meet a domestic demand for goods that the domestic market can’t fully satisfy. Organizations use this line of business to update technology, get cheaper resources and expand their operations.
Export
Within our service model, exportation goes hand in hand with importation. Companies sell products or services to other countries partly as a risk reduction strategy. This action taps new markets, creates an international footprint, and meets the demand for goods abroad while reducing domestic oversupply.
Commerce
Trade between companies (B2B) has become a powerful pathway for achieving organizational objectives. It is often linked to wholesale production, but can also involve the creation of value propositions and the exchange of services. B2B avoids the relationship to general consumers while seeking ties to suppliers, distributors, importers, exporters, and non-parallel industries.
Trade between organizations has the advantage of asking less investment in marketing, offering higher dividends for operations, and operating within a frictionless IT infrastructure. For these reasons, companies aimed at B2B are often purveyors of infotech: They accelerate inter-office and supply chain communications, increase network security, expand integration of processes, create management efficiencies, introduce collaborations and streamline manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing
Within the business world, manufacturing is the economic activity concerned with transforming raw materials. Operating within the secondary sector, it provides the world with semi-finished or finished products.
Manufacturing is usually the first step in nation’s industrialization. As a key aspect of economic development, it impels innovation and research. It lies at the heart of general economic progress and national wealth accumulation.
Manufacturing is distinguished by a wide variety of mechanical processes that require high energy consumption. To this is added large capital investments, the employment of skilled or specialized labor and the utilization of sub-markets that participate in larger supply chains.
The manufacturing sector includes:
The production of steel, aluminum and other metals; fabrication from petrochemicals, metalworking, basic foodstuffs, automobile manufacture, electronics production, boat-making, chemical production, textile manufacture and agricultural production.
Farming
In the business sector, agriculture is the cultivation of land for the extraction of basic foodstuffs. It is classified in the primary sector. It is the fundamental resource for human subsistence. While some part of production goes directly toward human consumption as raw food, the remainder is used for the processed foods, chemical products, manufactured goods (wicker, rope, furniture, etc), textiles (cotton, linen, etc.), and more.
Given its importance, farm activity has a wide strategic value for the business sector. Plant-based food industries continue to aggressively evolve to meet the demands of a growing population. This has meant continuous improvement in cultivation processes, including the improvement of crop rotation, fertilizers, irrigation systems, and the genetic modification of plants.
Livestock
Livestock is another economic activity of the primary sector that serves the sustenance needs of human society. It is characterized by the breeding of animals for meat, milk and eggs. and the manufacture of derivative products, such as glues, leather, duck and goose down, and some medicines.
Intensive livestock farming is found in almost every planetary economy. Our business line for the livestock industry is diversified. We recognize the wide range of ethical imperatives and operating methods in this sector. Some livestock farming uses non-chemical inputs, avoids pesticide-use, abides by protocols for organic production and/or uses free-range models for livestock pasturing and breeding.
Mining
Mining utilizes ever-new methods to extract minerals present in the soil and subsoil that are valuable for their utility, beauty or currency value. The exploitation of these non-renewable natural resources is essential for the manufacture of thousands of products for daily use. Resource extraction is basal economic activity for many nations, specially those in the developing world.
The mining industry seeks aluminum, copper, chromium, coltan, iron, silver, lead, gold and more. It also extracts non-metals like clay, sand, quartz, granite, marble, salt, and precious stones. In addition, mining operations often identify latent resources for the energy industry: petroleum, oil sands, coal, natural gas and shale.
Services
In the vastness of modern business operations, the provision of services is a tertiary business activity that manages intangibles for both individuals and corporations. In many ways, it operates like industries that produce commercial goods. The service industry operates in every business sector.
Saleable services include education and training, hospitality services, accounting, food preparation, labor procurement, marketing coaching, testing, transportation, customer service, consulting, research, and information technology.
It is essential that companies use services to enrich their market knowledge, employee skills, capacity for adaptation, decision making and evolution of their business model. In an economic environment where efficiency, diversification and modes of competitiveness are constantly evolving, appropriate service utilization determines whether organizations end up dominating their given industries.
