And is that in order to prevent traders or suppliers of goods and services related to the season, practices committed to the detriment of the consumer economy, the PROFECO performs the Verification and Monitoring Program of the Day of the Dead, which started on 27 October and ending on 2 November.

In that sense, in the posts at the colony Micaville, PROFECO found that from one post to another prices vary significantly, being examples of marigold flower, which in some places offered to the field and 10 pesos in others up to 20 pesos, or even peanut ranging in cost from 14 to 28 pesos.

Therefore, in the outskirts of the walker’s harvest has installed a mobile unit in these days of the season strong for the Day of the Dead, is responsible for carrying out targeted checks to demand that traders exhibit rates and prices, promotions and non-compliance conditions or deny the sale of products.

Therefore, the determined set blanket PROFECO alluding to the campaign demands in view prices and compare “in places with more business related to the celebration.

In addition, other commercial establishments such as public markets, supermarkets, departmental, candy stores, bakeries, hotels and Restaurants, also are being verified.
However, the bad thing is that informal businesses PROFECO can not intervene except to urge retailers to lower their prices but can not apply sanctions, while in business they can intervene with formal reprimands and fines arising the operational or complaints made by the population.

Entrepreneurs are people with a different attitude to other people, and constantly seeking new challenges, sometimes by necessity, others by simple enthusiasm. The truth is that they know that starting a new project, more precisely, a company is not as simple as buying and selling.

For an enterprise to achieve success and achieve the goals desired by the operator, must pass through a stage of theoretical analysis, prior to the practical development of the project. This is for one simple reason: we avoid wasting money on a project unfeasible.

Within that plan, known as Business Plan on the scene as basic as two essential factors that are often not properly considered by the people: the vision and mission of a company.

The vision and mission are not just theory or paragraphs that serve only to augment a loan application file to any financial institution. However, play a decisive role in defining the business and is a motivator for staff. Finally, it serves as a guide for the entrepreneur or manager, to the decisions that must be done and not clear on which to rely.

Start exporting should not be a dream for an entrepreneur. More than 4,400 small businesses have already made placements abroad and, between January and May this year, they sell for U.S. $ 533 million.

Prompter director, Juan Carlos Mathews, produced a guide of 13 recommendations for new exporters. Stresses the importance of investing in small scale in order to identify and solve ‘bottleneck’ of the business.

1. Identify a business idea
Example: export poles Pima cotton market in Ecuador. Consult information sources Prompter, Peru’s trade offices abroad, business associations, journals, export statistics (Sunhat), among others.

2. Market evaluation
For example, you need to analyze the Ecuadorian market. Review consumption in that place, how it behaves production, imports and exports and trends. Conditions of access (tariffs, quality standards, etc.)…

3. Evaluation of supply potential
Thithisquires reviewing the supply of raw materials and other inputs, equipment for operation of processing plants and compare costs versus prices to determine the estimated profitability of the business.

4. Identification of potential buyers
as in step 1, you can consult specialized offices and business associations.

5. Contact and business proposal
it makes the presentation of the company and the required supply. We must also determine the product (brand name, English name, and technical name), the packaging, technical and commercial specifications and the means and terms of payment.

6. Negotiation
you start to negotiate with the companies responding to the proposal, we discuss all the terms of the offer. It is critical to note that everything has a cost (a certificate or a specific payment period) that a party has to bear.

7. Evaluation of candidates (short list)
Assuming that it is possible to conclude a deal with one, two or three buyers, we suggest a small investment in a risk rating (equivalent to Infector) to ensure the seriousness of candidates.

8. Form of agreement
if agreement is reached with one candidate qualified for the certification of risks, it is advisable to formalize the agreement in a contract for international sales.

9. Financial advantage
Depending on the amount, the options are: equity, buyer financing (very unusual at the beginning) or pre and post-shipment lines of banking.

10. Production schedule
since funding is usually costly in Peru; you must synchronize with the capital requirements of production schedule so as not to incur periods with unused capital

11. Export procedures and shipping
it is necessary to reserve space required in the means of transport, considering the freight to the port, hire a customs broker and prepare shipping documents (commercial invoice, parking list and certificate of origin and quality).

12. Compare the actual versus budgeted
it must analyze the reasons for the differences between planned and actually achieved: higher losses and other unanticipated cost overruns. This identifies the ‘bottlenecks’ critical in the operation.

13. Business Projection
According to the results of pilot operations, the business can be projected with less chance of error. If the ‘bottleneck’ is supply of raw materials or processing, a good choice to collaborate with a producer or a processing plant, like rent or buy land and a plant.
