FairSmart Agri: Strengthening the Rice Industry in CambodiaEric Stryson
Cambodia is an economic success story after decades of conflict and political unrest. Since 1989, Cambodia has pursued market-oriented reforms and development, leading to some of the most drastic reductions of poverty in the region. Cambodia’s poverty rate fell from 52.2% in 2004 to 20.5% in 2011, vastly exceeding expectations.
According to the World Bank, this was due to better rice prices, better wages for both agricultural and urban workers, and improvements in health and education. However, the World Bank also noted that Cambodia’s poor, while no longer in poverty, remain susceptible to economic shocks.
Development of Cambodia's main industries—agriculture, garments, tourism and construction—led to a strong average growth rate of of 7.67% between 1994 and 2015. Cambodia's principal crop is rice, accounting for 15% of agricultural value added. 75% of Cambodia's cultivated land is used for rice.
Cambodian rice is some of the world’s best. Cambodian rice strains have won the “World’s Best Rice” award from the World Rice Conference three years running.
However, the sector faces competition from high-quality rice from Thailand and cheaper rice from Vietnam. Cambodia’s productivity is far below its competitors: Vietnam can grow about 10-11 tons per hectare, while Cambodia’s average hovers around 3-5 tons.
The GLP uses real-world field projects to hone the practical skills needed to manage diverse teams in unfamiliar situations. Through meetings with government, community and business leaders, and through frank and open discussions amongst themselves, participants learn to navigate conflicting and contradictory views to transform concepts and theories into realities on the ground.

Executive Summary
The objective of the course, Principlesof International Market was to understand
the International Market. All the activities, processes, communication, exchange
of goods and services, Trading, Licensing, Joint venture, and societal exchange
between 2 countries. These linkages bind countries with each other support them
and provide them with new product/services and gain foreign exchange.
Economic relations result in many positive effects, interdependence decreases a
nation’s capability to do things in its own way. These linkages have also become
more intense on an individual level; communication has built new international
bridges and made it easy for people to connect, new products have attained
international appeal and acceptance.
The key task for the international marketer is to stimulate societal acceptance of
the long-term benefits of interdependence. In our study we had to set a business
abroad .We opted to make our research starting a new venture in Maldives. This
document talks about Desi Tadka a restaurant business established in Pakistan
expanding internationally to Maldives. Why Maldives, how it’s going to start and
operate in Maldives. We will talk about it all as well as talk about its business plan
for expansion.

Appendix 2: Trade Report/News
How to start up?
Foreign investors are not allowed to own land, but are granted lease rights ranging up to 25
years, which can be later extended to 35 years for investments over $1 million
Initial investment
The initial investment required would be too high and due to this reason threat of new entrants is
low.
Statement of Finance Needed:
The initial investment needed is PKR 23,141,500/MVR 3,496,614.544. This would be raised
from Desi Tadka Profits 45%, each partner will invest 10% and 10% would be invested by the
international partner Banyan Tree Resort the remaining 15% is required.
6. International Market Entry
MSDMM-AIFD| Supervisor: Hammad Ur Rehman Page 6
Banyan Trees:
Banyan Tree has resorts all over Asia. It targets the high-end consumer and offers luxurious
appeal. The company has a very flexible structure. Regardless of how the economy is. By being
socially responsible to the environment and community, Banyan Tree believes that one of the
main reasons it is still sustainable in the tourism industry The Company invested a significant
amount of figure in Maldives Marine Laboratory to ensure the continual growth of corals for
future tourism. Banyan Tree also ensures that the locals are able to maintain their culture and
heritage by employing their craftsmen and using their handicrafts as ornaments.
However, Banyan Tree faced some challenges in building new resorts due to the limited choices
of suitable lands and a resort requires a large area. Other luxurious resort also started following
Banyan Tree by offering the combination of nature, spa and wellness. Therefore, it is suggested
that a new joint venture with DESI TADKA, a famous Restaurant from Pakistan, promoting
Pakistani heritage and food, a brand new idea which is believed would work well considering all
factors.
Agreement:
Banyan Tress will provide the property. Charging 6 month’s rent for $14,750 and Other service
charges for $ 39,133.The will have a share of 28% in the business and other 3 partners will have
24% respectively sharing Profit and loss For Initial 2 years .Later the agreement will change and
The Banyan Tress will only carry out the rent which will be double then the initial Rent of the
resort. Rate of the services charges will be negotiable.

External PEST:
PEST analysis is used to describe a framework for the analysis of macro environment factors
included:
1. Political
2. Economic
3. Social
4. Technological
Political Analysis:
Maldives is a presidential republic state with up to 1200 islands. The President is head of state
and government. The President selects the cabinet and leads the executive branch where agreed
by parliament. In 1998, with the present of a new constitution, it was not provided for
independent judiciary which means that the president has the right to go through High Court
decisions and has the authority to choose and release judge by the People’s Majlis (Maldivian
Government). In the current year, politics has become a rough turn because there have many new
political parties have emerged. However, right now the Island is stayed at Bay of peace.
Economical Analysis:
The economy of Maldives is mostly dependent on its tourism and fisheries sector. It actually
creates the Maldives from vulnerable to external shocks. Maldives has a shortage of mineral
resources and natural land support and most of the production based on import and dependent
heavily on earning of foreign exchange. Agricultural production contributed lesser to the
economy due to limited cultivatable land. Through the expansion of tourism and fishes industries
in the country, there have reached the fast growth over recent two decades. According to the
statistics, in between 2013, arrivals of tourists are around 293,112. The tourism economy
generates about 28% of Maldives’s GDP.
Social Analysis:
In Maldives, Islam is the only national religion, all other open practice of religions are
prohibited. The major industry in Maldives is tourism, which is the reason why services play a
significant role in hospitality industry. Some constraints include having limited skilled human
resource and rapid growth population. Drug abuse and social disharmony are the negative
impacts due to highly congested living conditions. Dhivehi is its first spoken language and
English is the second. Local people are however socially well connected even though there is a
shortage of social services and people spread across each other by long distances. Poor education
and limited job availability increases the unemployment rate. Maldives faces the shortage of
labor that leads the employer to provide competitive working conditions and pays to attract
employees.
Technological Analysis:
The Government will be investing in Research& Development for companies that are able to
generate GDP. In recent year, infrastructures such as telephone services have been improved.
Each island in Maldives now has its own public phone to stay connected and mobile-cellular
networks via International Submarine Cable Fiber Optic Link around the Globe. All resort in
Maldives has their own infrastructure, water supply, rubbish disposal arrangements and power.

MSDMM-AIFD| Supervisor: Hammad Ur Rehman Page 8
Five Porters:
Threats of New Entrants: Low
There are relatively low threat of new entrants due to extreme high capital required to support
business operations. This makes it difficult for new entrants to enter and non-performing firms
unable to exit easily without suffering great losses.
Threats of Substitute Product: Medium
Desi Tadka is different than most other restaurants in Maldives hence it can hold its position as
being different than others. Consumers might be able to find a substitute that is able to provide
similar distinguished services easily. Unless in cases where consumers focuses more on budget
holidays with affordable pricing to a large extent. In this case, Desi Tadka may not be the
priority choice.
Competitive Rivalry: High
The competitiveness in tourism industry is getting more intense. Not only restaurants such as
Ithaa which is located 5meters below sea level but lots in number resorts also exist.
Bargaining power of suppliers: Medium
The operation will depend on the local resources to support including raw-material such chicken
beef and lamb meat as well as power, water, and beverage and even labor. Importing live
chicken is banned in Maldives so buying from few local vendors might be expensive but being
the few restaurants offering variety other than fish might make it negotiable. Desi Tadka will be
making an effort to ensure sustainable development by purchasing from local suppliers to meet
daily operation needs and maintain the relationship with the suppliers. However, as most of the
countries are relatively lower cost, it will be easier for Banyan Tree to substitute suppliers.
Bargaining power of Manufacturer: Medium
Desi Tadka is a restaurant offering food and the service of experiencing fine cuisine from a
different country. Target market ranges people of all ages upper middle to upper class tourist.
Desi Tadka has a very clear market positioning and brand identity which is well known for
“Pakistani Traditional Cuisine”. It would be advantageous as there are few buyers as well as
sellers of poultry other than fish as Maldives is a fishery country.

MSDMM-AIFD| Supervisor: Hammad Ur Rehman Page 9
Life Style (Standard of Living in Maldives):
Food in daily life:
Rice and fish are the staple foods. Fish is the most important source of protein in the average
diet. Very few vegetables are eaten. Betel leaf with areca nut, cloves, and lime, known as foh, is
chewed after meals. Old people smoke guduguda, an elongated pipe that goes through a trough
of water. Most food served in tourist resorts is imported.
Food customs at ceremonial occasions:
Meat other than pork is eaten only on special occasions. Alcohol is not permitted except in
tourist resorts. The local brew, raa, is sweet toddy made from the crown of the coconut palm.
Basic Economy:
All the fish that is consumed locally is from the domestic economy. Basic food commodities
such as rice, sugar, and flour are imported. There are over seventy resort islands near the capital.
Land and tenure and property:
Land belongs to the state and is given free to families in the island of their origin to build
houses. The only exception is that public servants lease land where they work. In other islands,
where tourist resorts, a cannery, the airport, and other small industries are located, employees are
provided with temporary accommodations.

We have an experience of running a restaurant for 18 years, and our reputation along with
Banyan Tree will help us spread awareness faster and easier than others. Since it’s our first time
opening in an international country we need to do a lot of research to find out about tourists
timings, taste and preferences and change accordingly without losing our identity of a Pakistani
cuisine. There is going to be a communication barrier with the locals as not much of the
population speaks English. Our opportunities include adding new cuisine to the menu by playing
with different ingredients available in Maldives. Since our target audience is tourist we can learn
the preference of other international markets and expand there in the future. We would be facing
a lot of competition from other resorts, cafes and restaurants. And new entrants from Pakistan
may want to enter into Maldives if we are successful.

Profit Objective
Our profit objective includes covering the cost of initial investment in five years. Based on our
market research on Maldives we expect a 0.5% increase every month in our Net profit.
Our annual Net Profit objective for the year 2016 is MVR 7,47,558 and Rs 4,947,532.32
Assessment of Risk
An outlook of the potential risks and issues that could be possibly faced within the business is
necessary so that contingency plan can be made and for this we need a clear picture of the plans
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Contingency Plan:
In case of the taste of Pakistan not being accepted by foreigners and us not meeting our initial
year sales target even once in the four quarters we would have to come up with a different
business strategy. One of our contingency plans includes adding more fish dishes from Pakistan
into the menu might help us reduce the cost as Maldives economy is based on fishery, we can
also reduce the price of the menu.
Another contingency plan would include converting the area into a tea or beverage cafe which
might be partial diversification. Only selling snacks and hot and cold beverages from Pakistan
would reduce our cost as well as our prices, and would differentiate us from others.
Exit Strategy:
If we do not meet any of our sales targets for the first year we will follow the contingency plan
for the second year. And if we do not reach our second year goals with the contingency plan we
will go for the exit strategy. Our first move in the exit strategy would be tohaving deals to sell off
our remaining stock, and a sale to sell out our rare interior decoration and furniture pieces to be
able to pay off Banyan Tree initial investment and exit the market.
