About this Series
This series was created for international firms who rely on foreign export markets for a substantial portion of their
business or who might be threatened by foreign trade competition. The estimates given in this report were created
using a methodology developed by and under the direct supervision of Professor Philip M. Parker, the Eli Lilly
Chaired Professor of Innovation, Business and Society, at INSEAD. The methodology, relying on historical figures
of economic growth and trade flows, estimates the market shares of some 150 countries for over 500 industrial or
product categories. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical records, as these are
projected for the current year of trade.

assessments, political risk assessments, foreign direct investment strategy, intellectual property strategy, and export
strategies. Financial management studies cover taxes and tariffs. Global marketing studies focus on target segments
(e.g. seniors, children, women) and strategic marketing planning.

Country Studies. Often managers need an in-depth, yet broad and up-to-date understanding of a country’s strategic
market potential and situation before the first field trip or investment proposal. There are over 190 country studies
available. Each study consists of analysis, statistics, forecasts, and information of relevance to managers. The studies
are continually updated to insure that the reports have the most relevant information available. In addition to raw
information, the reports provide relevant analyses which put a more general perspective on a country (seen in the
context of relative performance vis -à-vis benchmarks).

Industry Studies. Companies are racing to become more international, if not global in their strategies. For over 2000
product/industry categories, these reports give the reader a concise summary of latent market forecasts, pro-forma
financials, import competition profiles, contacts, key references and trends across 200 countries of the world. Some
reports focus on a particular product and region (up to four regions per product), while others focus on a product
within a particular country.

1 METHODOLOGY
1.1 OUR APPROACH
This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export
managers who are concerned with the market for raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers.
With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view.
Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact.
I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the
market for raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers for those countries serving the world
market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year
based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a
number of questions. Which countries are supplying raw or retted jute and other textile bast
fibers? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of raw or retted jute
and other textile bast fibers vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world
market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the
most exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers? Which countries are buying their
exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and
exported raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers. The total level of imports and exports on a
worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over
150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country
represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive
countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country
of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a
volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world
totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each
market and the shares that countries are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings
are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this
report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning
purposes.

After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports, Chapter 3 details the
exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers, for each individual country. Chapter 4
does the same, but for imports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers for all countries in
the world. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading
partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and
exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers to and from all major countries in the
world. Of the 150 countries considered, if a country is not reported here it is therefore estimated



to have only a negligible level of trade in raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers (i.e. their
market shares are close or equal to zero percent). "Raw or Retted Jute and Other Textile Bast
Fibers" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations
Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification,
Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "raw or retted jute and other textile bast
fibers" is 2641. For more information on this definition, please refer to the following web site:
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcs.asp?Cl=14&Lg=1&Co=264 .

This report is updated on an annual basis. To ensure that you have the most current version,
please check the web site of ICON Group at www.icongrouponline.com, or call them in the USA
at 858-546-4340.

Important Caveat. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical
records, as these are forecasted for the current year of trade. More importantly, in light of the fact
that unforeseeable factors might interrupt markets in achieving their reported levels, the figures
should be seen as estimates of potential. For example, "mad cow" disease, foot-and- mouth
disease, trade embargoes, labor disputes, military conflicts, acts of terrorism and other events will
certainly affect the actual trade flows recorded for a variety of industry or product categories. In
such cases, the difference between the numbers given in this report and the numbers actually
observed might be interpreted as the "net loss" or "net gain" due to these exogenous events
affecting regular trade flows that would have occurred had these events not have taken place.
