Export Market Diversification
The program seeks to enhance the international competitive position of small-scale exporters by assisting them with techniques for diversifying and consolidating their access to international markets. The components are: (a) a market-diversification pilot project for small businesses; and (b) training, consultancy, and information activities related to specific issues arising from market diversification.

Component 1 offers technical assistance to help small firms achieve greater diversification by implementing a methodology adapted to the local context. The methodology would support firms in: (a) an initial diagnostic study of their current international position; (b) development of plans for export diversification; (c) implementation of the plans; and (d) monitoring of diversification actions for continuous improvement. Also included in Component 1 are program promotion and dissemination, including a variety of actions (exhibitions, leaflet and magazine publicity, internet, radio, and television) to encourage small-scale exporters to participate in the pilot project, especially firms operating in the provinces and/or those set up by women.

Component 2 provides training focused on specific topics
arising during market penetration, as well as a processed foreign trade information service intended to complement training activities with statistical and market data. The value of the service is enhanced by the fact that data will be processed and interpreted according to the needs of each interested firm.
