Setiogi, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n<p>Indonesian companies exporting goods to Canada could boost<br>\ntheir earnings if they shipped the goods directly instead of<br>\ngoing through the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\"Exporting directly to Canada means Indonesian exporters could<br>\nsell their commodities a lot cheaper, compared to sending them to<br>\nthe U.S. where they are liable to U.S. customs duties and are<br>\nalso marked-up by third parties,\" said Peter J. Dawes, a visiting<br>\nCanadian international trade expert from Warrington<br>\nInternational, on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He said that exports to Canada, which reached C$798.84 million<br>\n(about US$532.56 million) in the January to October period last<br>\nyear, could potentially be doubled if exports were sent directly.<\/p>\n<p>\"Most Indonesian exporters are unaware of the opportunities<br>\nfor exporting directly to Canada instead of going through the<br>\nUnited States,\" Dawes said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Canadian Embassy, January-October 2002<br>\nexports were down 1.97 percent from C$814.87 million in the same<br>\nperiod in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Indonesian imports from Canada were valued at<br>\nC$400.71 million during the January to October 2002 period, a<br>\nslight increase from C$394.47 million during the same period the<br>\nprevious year.<\/p>\n<p>\"It is actually also very easy to establish networks with<br>\nCanadians importers,\" Dawes said.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the prospects for the Canadian market, Dawes<br>\nsaid: \"Canada is actually a growing, potential market. Indonesian<br>\nfood exports have actually a great potential in Canada, such as<br>\nfish products, biscuits, candies and other prepared foods.\"<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Dawes also explained that there were some<br>\nconstraints that could hamper foreign exporters entering the<br>\nCanadian market.<\/p>\n<p>\"The Canadian market is not the same market as the U.S. or the<br>\nEuropean Union. Some additional requirements should be noted.<br>\nCanadians tastes are very conservative. We are not like people in<br>\nNew York or other parts of the U.S.,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also explained that new brands in Canada would need major<br>\nadvertising to crack the market. \"Canadians expect the highest<br>\npossible quality with the lowest possible prices. We are not like<br>\nthe Americans who get very excited about new things coming onto<br>\nthe market.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"But in conclusion, I would say that Canadians are actually<br>\nloyal to their suppliers,\" he said.<\/p>",
