Dear LAV-Young Professionals,

Yes, we can! and we have a new name: “Young Professionals” in the LAV. I am happy about it.

For the last event in this atypical year, we would like to meet online and talk business - this time about the “real thing”: money.

14th December 2020, 3 p.m. CET (45 minutes), online
Financing, Risk, and Invoicing in Latin America –
Our Experiences and Comments for 2020/21

How was your expectation on invoicing and financing at the outbreak of the pandemic in March/April? How did the year develop and what are your expectations for 2021? 

Since you come from different sectors and countries, this would be an interesting exchange to get a “feeling” for business at present in the Latin American region.

Some of you have views and experience in Cuba and we would be pleased if you could put in your questions and answers in sales for this country, as it is very specific. And any news on Venezuela? Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Mexico remain challenging.

I would like to meet you online on Zoom and I hope to organize some “break out” sessions in small groups, so that it feels like a workshop or intense dialog.

Dear LAV Junioren,

Join us in a speech and discussion on trade! This time we will talk about traditional, classic, usual trade routes of agricultural goods and sustainable trends or not on a traditional almost commodity product like BANANA.

Norika Lopez wrote about it in her Bachelor thesis “The valuation of external effects in the production of goods on the example of the banana production in Ecuador”.

We are looking forward to hear your point of view both as a consumer, a trader or maybe logistics.

Time: 17:00 CEST,  12:00 BRT, 10:00 ECT, 11:00 COT
Language: English

Andreas Schindler, Geschäftsführer, Don Limón. www.don-limon.de 
Duration: 60 Min

Topics:

We will have an insight on the banana trade flows between Ecuador and the European Union, specially Germany. And the challenge of competition for this tasty fruit from other countries as Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil etc. The external effects - economic and social - of the banana production. The importance of the banana sector for the Ecuadorian economy and why is it difficult to achieve sustainable agriculture nowadays. How does the agricultural sector work and how could or should it work?
