This year is very difficult for the Japanese supplier in the Philippines to export SUV or Vehicles including those small mini-truck due to most of the buyer in the Philippines specially the Subic base company and Visayas region importer stop buying from Japan, due to strict campaign of Bureau of Customs and Anti-Smuggling Car group in the Philippines. Most of the Japanese supplier in the Philippines who have some ready stock for Philippine market had a very big problem on thier existing inventory specially those being ordered already but eventually result to cancellation.  And the only reason they say to Japanese supplier is that they (importer ) do not already understand the system of the government in the Philippines. They just say to wait and see, cause if they are going to ship it in the Philippines, it will be seized for whatever reasons of the Philippine government. Its just like STOP LOOK AND LISTEN.  But for the Japanese supplier it means a big downfall of sales from the Philippine market.

Just the other month one of our buyer from the Philippines send us a news from the Philippines that even mini-truck which is already with car registration and plate number still being seized by some government agent like Traffic Management or the likes.  So they just can’t understand what rules to follow and what system to do. So again it affects  us too, as we are also one of suppliers of mini-truck to the Philippines and of course to our co-suppliers too.

These days, every Japanese TV show reports some of frozen foods sold in a lot of supermarkets in Japan are likelihood of poison. They are imported from China, one of the biggest country of food exporter in the world. The importer, a business company based Tokyo, and the exporter in China is now under investigating why it should happen and who is blamed about this affair. Fortunately, there are no the deceased so far but many poison victims who took the meat dumplings (”Gyo-za”) around Japan. Japanese news says sales of frozen food falls 40% down after 31th Jan, the day of this contamination being surfaced.

We cannot live without products from overseas, especially in Japan, since we do not have enough nature resource and cost to produce them here, so we have to outsource and buy them from foreign countries. While we depend on them, lots of Japan based companies moved thier factories to Asian countries, for example China, Thailand, Indnesia and so on, hire locals with inexpensive salary than Japan, and lecture the method to work. Our country, Japan, was the same in our old days, we could be developing with assistance of foreign countries. Now our position has been changed, developing to developed. We have to teach them not only how to work but also importance of hygiene, sanitation and safe for food production, the reason why so is, no one allowed to threaten the other’s health.

In Best Trading, we have no staff who got having that bad food, we are very fine. I have no idea when and where poison was into the foods, and who…in fact, it’s doubtful of deliberate accident, according to some newspaper. It is uncertain at this moment, however, I am looking for the truth coming out and the time we can eat anything with no worries.

According to Japanese major auto vehicle makers’ plans, all thier production in BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) will exceed amount of production in North America in 2011.
Recently, Japanese companies cannot plan thier sales management without overseas, especially developing countries like BRICs.
They are in the spotlight for thier explanation of new market, a lot of potencial customers there. As I wrote in my previous entry, they never regards Japan as good market to sell their vehicles due to the decreasing thier sales.
In Brazil market, Toyota is planning to sell thier “EFC (Entry Family Car)” in the future. It is low priced car about 800,000 to 900,000Yen ($7,500 to $8,400) that they have never sold in order customers who has never bought and owned their car can get. With regards Corolla would be sold for 3,000,000 to 3,500,000Yen in Brazil, that EFC will not be big but compact vehicle.
Not only Toyota but also Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi etc. plan to thier original manufacture plan in BRICs. It is very exciting for me that we will be able to meet Japanese-Brazilian, Japanese-Russian, Japanese-Indian and Japanese-Chinese car soon!!
