Through its networks, international presence, website, and other trade-promoting activities, ASNAPP actively gathers market intelligence by continuously assessing, tracking, and communicating market needs and forces prevalent in the international marketplace. It solicits and receives market inquiries; secures orders and works with a network of rural suppliers, agents, brokers, and private sector companies to fulfill these orders. As part of the market development effort, ASNAPP performs quality checks, builds the capacity of suppliers to meet buyer’s specifications and ensure buyers’ pay for goods supplied. Where necessary, ASNAPP actively engages in the export of certain commodities. ASNAPP has directly supported farmers to supply fresh vegetables, mushroom, paprika, birds eye chilies and non-timber forest products worth in excess of $10m and indirectly facilitated trade in excess of $40m in the last 7 years.
