by: Grovara

Grovara is revolutionizing how brands go global. Exportation is not a simple feat, but we offer the top 5 tips to help you achieve Better-For-You food and beverage export success and fuel your company’s growth.

Who is Grovara?

Grovara, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, was founded in 2010 to provide American organic product manufacturers and international wholesale buyers with a way to connect directly and seamlessly through a B2B e-commerce marketplace platform.

We are not a traditional export broker or distributor. Instead, we have developed an easy-to-use platform that streamlines importing and exporting from product discovery and order processing to payments and fulfillment, all in a single marketplace.

Five Tips for Export Success

  1. Promote Your “Made in the USA” Brand

If your brand is successful in the U.S. market, it’s likely that it will also sell in overseas markets. The U.S. has a fantastic reputation for its high standards when it comes to food and beverages, and this is something you will want to leverage when exporting your products overseas.

  1. Explore Local Laws and Regulations

Get to know the market you are exporting to. It’s essential to brush up on your knowledge of local laws and regulations in different countries. Many of these laws are specifically designed to protect consumers.

  1. Learn About Traceability

You may also want to keep in mind that traceability has become more important in Asian markets. Many government regulations now demand that food and beverage products be traceable from point-of-harvest to point-of-sale (POS). The ability to offer traceability throughout your supply chain may give you an edge in the market.

  1. Simplify Processes Wherever Possible

Look for ways to make your exporting experience as efficient and straightforward as possible to help you increase productivity and reduce costs. Grovara can help. We are reshaping the importing and exporting experience, making it easier for B2B buyers and brands to do business.

  1. Be Persistent.

Export requires dedication, commitment, enthusiasm, and belief that one day you will achieve your goal. It may take longer than expected, so don’t give up, and make sure that you manage expectations in the market you are targeting, and don’t let your domestic customers down.
