Sourcing Agency in Cambodia

Have you been thinking about sourcing products in Cambodia, but you aren’t quite sure if you should go it alone or hire a sourcing agency to represent you? If so, this page will shed some light on the subject. We are going to talk about how your business can benefit from sourcing in Cambodia, and why you should give hiring a sourcing agency some careful consideration.

Cambodia has experienced strong growth over the last decade or so and their economy is forecast to grow 5.3% in 2022 and 6.5% in 2023. This is all thanks to their strong merchandise exports and solid foreign direct investment.

As the country wishes to diversify its exports and move away from low value garments and footwear, high-quality manufacturing offers them much broader and more sustainable growth opportunities – starting with light manufacturing which is on the rise in Cambodia. In particular, garments production is a highly competitive field in Cambodia and this is driving up the quality of production at a rapid pace.

If you are interested in sourcing such products from the Cambodia, finding the right agency to represent you is paramount. Here’s what you need to know…

Failing to audit a prospective supplier

Properly auditing a supplier can be difficult without having boots on the ground. When sourcing overseas without an agent representing you, often you have to go with blind faith and hope for the best. With UCT Asia on the other hand, we can ensure that any prospective suppliers that you are considering are indeed up to scratch and meet your expectations.

Making the assumption that a prospect knows precisely what you need

the unfortunate reality of doing business overseas is that the language barrier is an issue. It’s not uncommon for buyers to strike deals with overseas suppliers only to find that they did not fully understand their requirements (e.g., ending up with the wrong products / colours / specs / sizes etc.). When working with UCT Asia however, our multi-lingual staff can negotiate on your behalf and ensure that your needs are properly met.

uct-area-pricing

Unfair pricing

entering a new market place, without the knowledge and research behind you, can often result in you ending up with unreasonable deals. Let us negotiate on your behalf and guarantee that you get the best possible deal and that everybody wins.

Failing to have a solid pre-shipment plan

a pre-shipment plan is an essentiality for confirming the quality and quantity of goods before they’re read to ship – and that the logistics is air-tight when it comes to transporting them from the supplier, to your warehouses. UCT Asia will ensure that your pre-shipment plan is perfect and that everything runs as smoothly as possible.
