The country has been experiencing 15 percent export growth for the past four years. Shipments in 2007 were estimated to have reached $3 billion. There are more than 9,000 suppliers in the line, about one-third of which are trading companies, exporting mainly to the US and the EU.

Suppliers that have already invested in R&D and brand building may be able to generate better margins in the increasingly lucrative local market - Other makers are choosing to focus on trading instead, as they are finding it more difficult to recoup recoup To sell an asset at a price sufficient to recover the original outlay or to offset a previous loss. investment in machinery and other fixed assets fixed assets npl → activo sg fijo fixed assets npl → immobilisations fpl fixed assets fix npl → .
