"The export itself is not difficult, it is a matter of generating a relationship of trust with the buyer," stated Rosalva Carreon, head of Curenho SA. To achieve this, Mexican businessmen believe it is necessary to make changes in various aspects that could strengthen the country's logistical framework. "In our case, we can offer customers to come visit our facilities and the way we work, when they have doubts about a request for payment in advance. Showing them everything we do so that the product they buy arrives in their hands on time and in the best conditions helps them have more confidence in us," Carreon said.
On the one hand, the banking system needs improvements as money transfers are slow because they first have to go through a US bank before being sent to a Mexican bank. As a result, the money arrives later to the production company and shipments are delayed a bit. "This situation is aggravated when the country's time zone is more advanced than us, as in the case of New Zealand."
On the other hand, "it would be great to have a database of all certified producers in order to be able to locate them effectively." In addition, we need the government to also support producers who do not have such certificates and make them see that they need Global GAP certification to sell to Europe, Carreón added.
