Hi Dear SD Export,

Its nice to have this intersting question from your side ...

We are a leading exporter to PET waste to china ....... 

here we go with the stretegy to put a close eye on the market's changing prices.

1:- Season Factor: For individual markets when its hot in that countries prices for PET is at its down level, while in the winter its goes up automatically ... Its counts a lot in ASIAN countries.

2:- Supply-demand factor: Now a days prices are going down because supply is getting larger and larger. for naives, who just jumped into this business, they cut down the prices to win a buyer. In that way may they harm the quality, quantity, shipping times etc but in one sentence, they are harming a complete market.

3:- From an international point of view, keep the eye on the plastic, plastic waste waste etc.

there are some others but i cant tell you all because i have to save my business also.

Oops! hope you can use your own tacts too ...

Serve you Honestly.

Sair

Well a universal market price is hard to set due to mostly the cost involved in trucking product to port and then cost involved in shipping the container to its final destination .The market price of product in and  along coastal area's is higher then centraly located area's due to the minimal cost in trucking it to the port. So the prices that are listed on a regions commodity index have to based  according to a curve. Index prices for scrap  are a benchmark and shouldnt be misconstruded as actual or factual.

Suppliers located in and along the coast have less unknown factors compared to central suppliers and they are both using the same equation.This gives them ability to forcast and adjust there products price accordingly.they can hold back and drive price up for product because ship only has alloted amount of time in port. Or they can saturate and drive price down .

And since they they dont have the huge overhead of trucking product to port trucking this allows them to adjust adjust price up or down and allows for a greater margin for proffit. without commitment .Opposite lays true for the commited supplier who trucks in .

But is trying to shop around and find the cheapest market price the best method? I personnally think that is more costly and a higher risk factor. If your always shopping for cheapest price you neglect to build a relationship with a supplier.

When you build a relationship both grow and depend on each other to due there part .After time supply and demand between the two companys will leveredge evenly .Meaning the supplier and the buyer both come to agree and comprimise prices accordingly to ensure long term growth .

You ussally end up with what you pay for .when your always looking to buy product cheap and the supplier is always looking to sell for more everybody is always looking .And to focus on one thing is to neglect another.And i think that both parties neglect focus on business. And a business will grow faster and with stronger roots being fed consistency  of quality  product . This will promote a long term healthy realitionship of mutual trust to get thrue the best of times and the worst of times.Bargain shopper gets bargains not treasures.
