From Canada to Nepal

The easiest way to transport this product would be by air. Before it is flown to Nepal, the product needs to be trucked from the Ormond Veterinary Supply Inc. in Ancaster, Ontario, to Mississauga, Ontario (shown in figure 1). The transportation cost shown above would be approximately 120 Canadian dollars to truck the packages (¹FedEx, 2015). The most costly trip would be the flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. For the first trial, approximately 50 kits would be flown over to Nepal to sell to the farmers. To send a boxes that are 50 cm3 with around 8 kits within one box, it would be cost approximately 745 Canadian dollars to fly 8 boxes full of kits (¹A1 Freight Forwarding, 2015). Documents like the commercial invoices, certificate of origin and the shipper’s export declaration would be needed to quicken the process of shipping. Some other documents could be need depending on the contents in the kits (²FedEx, 2015). Once the product is in Kathmandu, Nepal, they would be trucked from the Tribhuvan International Airport to the Nepal Veterinary Association which is also located in Kathmandu, Nepal (shown in figure 2). Since trucking the packages could take around an hour trip from the airport to the Nepal Veterinary Association location (²Google, 2015), it could cost approximately the same as the cost of trucking the packages from Ancaster, Ontario to Mississauga, Ontario (shown in figure 1). After all the shipping cost is added to the initial cost of the product from Canada, the approximation of the CMT kits would cost around 57.70 Canadian dollars which can be converted to 4,609.09 Nepalese rupee. Different regions and living situations can change the average household of a Nepalese farmer, therefore this product could be expensive to some Nepalese farmers depending on their household income. So the best opinion would be to start selling the product to groups of farmers then slowly and gradually sell them to separate farmers once the knowledge of the product is in more of a demand to the public.
