Early October, ProVerde carried out a first workshop on how to conduct market research in Tirana, Albania. The workshop was organised as part of CBI’s training programme for exporters and employees of business support organisations, in this case Albinvest and the local Chamber of Commerce.
There is more information on the EU available than you can handle. That’s why CBI trains exporters to use the web to conduct market research in a quick and effective way. Get to know relevant market research techniques and methods.
There is a page on the CBI website where you can download all the relevant documents and presentations: Market Research Albania

Potted tropical plants are spreading throughout Europe, boosting developing country exports. Perhaps it is an undiscovered side effect of global warming, but tropical plants are rapidly gaining popularity in Europe. Palms, dracaenas, yuccas and other tropical species can be found in almost every European living room, office and hotel. One contributor to this trend has been the CBI´s export development programme for Young Pot Plant Material in Central America.
You can download the full article from the CBI website: The other greenhouse effect.

The handbook is an information source and reminder of all topics discussed during the Export Coaching Programme for Cut Flowers in Egypt, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. It will also help you deal with some practical problems. You will find useful checklists, exercises, practical worksheets, and questionnaires. The handbook can be requested by your local sector organisation, i.e. KFC, UFEA, ZEGA or Egyptflor.
