India and Pakistan are united by language and history, divided by commerce

It will cheaper than the price you are already paying for them by buying them through Dubai as you will be cutting down the middle man.



Are you naive of what..there are no assurances in business..except the very basic one of Demand and supply
If we do not have enough supplies or Demand exceeds the supply..then obviously we will quench our own demands first, before exporting these products.

Other than that, if you think you are doing India a favor by regularizing the trade..then you are very wrong..Indian export are already getting paid for their products..its you who are paying higher price than you should for the same products..coz ego is not allow you to accept facts on the ground and are buying the same products through Dubai .






Every exporter has certain niche products ..on which they are best quality and are cheapest rates..again rule of demand and supply will take over, if you but let it flow.

How much cheaper it can be ? any idea.

secondly if a country violates singed deals for which they are already paid is not at all an ideal situation and not acceptable according to trade rules/.

Yet you are still buying Indian goods via Dubai..pls do tell the logic in that?

what quality goods you can offer us?

 

[Skull and Bones]

Depends on what quality goods of Indian origin you import from Dubai.

Yeah, but in terms of the majority of imports india cannot compete, even in your large cities in india, if you go to the shops - a high proportion of the goods will be from China, that is why their is a huge trade deficit you have with them.

Well, Automobiles, Electronic Gadgets,Raw Materials... Well We have many Multi national companies which provide Quality goods....

But in terms of price and range of goods, and quality - you cannot compete against PRC.

That's why during the last visit of Wen Jiabao, there was an mutual understanding to raise the amount of trade b/w two countries to $100 billion.

Not to forget medicines, fertilisers, chemicals, petroleum products, banking services, IT products, heavy machinery, financial services, FMCG, news media, film expertise etc.

Anything india makes - we can get at a better price and superior quality from the PRC - no offence but in manufacturing india is a pygmy, you are mainly a service based on services. And also we have a free trade agreement with them.

Thanks buddy.

Agreed with the highlighted part, but a little dubious about the quality part.

Most of that is also produced in country, so that will not find an easy market.

Anytime bro, also it is the truth

 

[Dalai Lama]

ideally nice suggestion but again since Indian violated signed trade agreement and stopped supplies to harm Pakistani textile recently. how can we Pakistani traders can trust that India wont violate this such an agreement

Well, I don't know anything about that incident or it's technicalities. Maybe someone else can clarify this for you.

And, yes you're right. It will be hard for both parties to trust each other at first. Ideally both countries should start off by trading goods which won't allow them to have any strategic superiority over the other. Making sure that this doesn't happen to you can be your own responsibility (vice-versa). When traders on both sides are comfortable enough with each other and mutual trust starts building, then we can start increasing trade to a respectable amount. This way, our economies will become more dependent on each other, making war less likely. In the end it can only be a win-win situation for both and whoever can make the better offer will make more money.

For how long? 3?5?10 years?

Once Chinese labour becomes expensive with their increasing per capita income and IF India sets right its manufacturing industry and infrastructure, only India will be left with such a vast number of cheap, skilled and unskilled labour.

And don't talk about quality.

 

[Rafi]

Agreed with the highlighted part, but a little dubious about the quality part.

even if their was full and open trade with india, you would have to compete with the PRC - and also against a domestic industry which is in the fields that you would like to compete in.

 

[The HBS Guy]

Most of that is also produced in country:

Yes, but is that enough to meet your demand and at what cost and for how long?
