  1. PRESENTATION BY MCV INTERNATIONAL FORWARDING (PTY) LTD ON ITS EXPORT PROMOTION STRATEGY BIASED TO SMMES AND CO-OPERATIVES FOR ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION

  2. CONTRIBUTORS TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & JOB CREATION • Key elements for employment creation are: • Promoting exports and competitiveness • Increasing South Africa's Global Market share (NDP) • SMMEs play a major role in Job creation and Economic Development.

  3. MAJOR CHALLENGE AFFECTING SURVIVAL OF SMMEs AND CO-OPS • Economic Globalisation • Domestic Markets are becoming more saturated • Foreign competitors are entering the South African Market and outcompeting SA businesses. • South African Economy gets exposed to Transfer Pricing • Co - ops and SMMEs, as a key factor to Economic growth must develop a global culture, gain International experience and look for business elsewhere in order to succeed.

  4. SMME AND CO-OPS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET • Small businesses are busy running their day to day operations and do not consider exporting. • Due to less financial resources and staffing limitations, small enterprises often suffer from managerial inexperience with international markets. • They have limited global information-gathering capabilities. • They lack multicultural and Global competence.

  5. SA EXPORTS SHARE

  14.

  16. ASSISTANCE FROM THE SAAFF • The SAAFF has proposed to facilitate an industry specific fund • The fund will be composed of 3% NPAT for Enterprise Development; 2% NPAT for Socio Economic Development and the Equity equivalent contribution from Multinationals • This fund is earmarked among other things to support export development • The support from Export management companies will ensure that SMMEs and Co-Ops access this fund and utilise it effectively.
