Cybex believes that international foreign trade data and native country's trade data play a crucial role in forecasting
the success rate of importing and exporting organizations worldwide. Without the knowledge of how your
government functions amid the import-export industry, one cannot figure out the answers to two questions that are
genuinely important:

  • What is in demand?
  • What is the scope of its import-export business?

Let's suppose: you are investing in import-export of meat amid COVID-19 without acknowledging the fact that meat is
not in demand right now. The reason being, India occasional (and even a few percent of regular) consumers of meat
are staying away from it because it may increase the risk of CoronaVirus. Thus, if you invest in such a business at this
point of time, you will really be at a great loss. Now, in India, importers are focusing on importing lab-made meat.

That's right! Hence, this is a perfect example of how to use India trade data?
