I was very honoured to receive an email from Mr. Pablo Duran, the actual President of Coexport, to meet him in the premises of Coexport. Executive Director Silvia Cuellar was present and Mrs.Karla Klaus also. The questions were asked but has to be answered. They are:
1 What products are included in the FTA
2 What regulations need to be complied with , and most importantly.
3 How would the Trade Agreements work if the goods are imported to El Salvador and not created here.
4 What steps are required to benefit from the FTA ?
5 Does a factory need to be set up?
6 Last year, a letter was translated. It was an invitation for a networking event of Proesa, where parties could speed-date with suppliers, distributors , etc. Does Coexport organize events as the above described?
7 What events is Coexport planning for this last months of (2019) and the coming year (2020).
It may well be possible to bring some products from some entrepreneurs of Coexport to the Netherlands and Europe. We are already searching for possibilities.

It’s better to unite all of them.”
