I am in dire need of a trade partner for my business in the United States. I am in need of some help. I need a trading partner for my disposable wooden chopsticks. I can produce unlimited amounts due to the endless supply of poplar trees where I live. I can produce enough to meet all of Asia’s demands for them annually. My prices are lower than what are being sold in China… I need a trading partner ASAP. If your company is interested or you know of anyone interested please let me know! There has to be a place for our products there or somewhere else in Asia. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. I can send pics if needed. Below are our product specifications. WE DONT NEED CAPITAL WE NEED HELP SELLING OUR GOODS BY THE MILLIONS OF UNITS IN ASIA.
The chopsticks that will be produced in the United States:
Materials: the disposable wooden chopsticks (DWC) will be made poplar timber. Also known as white wood, tulip poplar, and yellow poplar. The scientific name of this tree is: liriodedrum tulipitera
Specifications: these DWC are 8 inches (20.23cm). They are squared and flat at the top and rounded on the tips. They are pull apart DWC.
Dimensions: 8 X .5 X .125 inches
These chopsticks are also manufactured with zero chemicals and no bleach. 100% natural.
Production: We can produce over 75 million units per month. What ever the market demand is we can meet it.
Contact the department stores for possible sales. They all could source large scale purchases, I believe. Factories, too. But many firms are ‘going green’ on chopsticks. Off the top of my head.
I’ve looked into this, it seems that the US does have some vast poplar tree plantations.
I think this is a very interesting business challenge personally.
How would you differentiate this from bamboo chopsticks ( they must be in the disposable category).
Almost all disposables are made in China and Vietnam I’m guessing. I doubt people in Taiwan make disposable chopsticks.
Cheapness will not win on its own, as the disposable market may indeed be shrinking already.
There are other angles to push but I’ve a feeling the market channels for something as cheap as disposable chopsticks are going to be difficult to crack without any consumer demand for differentiation. The problem is that people who use disposable chopsticks are usually not very discerning!
Therefore restaurants have no incentive to provide better chopsticks…
The US has for some time been a world leader in deforestation, slightly behind the likes of Indonesia and Brazil. It’s only in the last couple of decades they’ve really got their act together, and you can find yourself in deep shit if you go out with a chainsaw cutting down gubmint property. Quite apart from that is the immorality of causing land degradation just so rich Chinese people can avoid washing their chopsticks. If the OP reckons he can “supply the whole of Asia” cheaper than China does - with their nonexistent regard for the environment - it’s a fairly safe bet he’s up to something dodgy, or sourcing trees from people who are.
OP, please contact me ASAP. I have millions(nt) in idle moniez that desperately needs to get invested somewhere, your business sounds like the perfect investment vehicle.
Well what you dont understand there guy is that in America we own our own land, we own our mineral rights and we also own our timber. We also follow strict conservation rules and laws to endure that we have plenty of timber. We do not use timber from our federal lands. We had the foresight to realize this years ago and we have a healthy industry that supplies the world. China imports our timber now in order to meet its demands for disposable wooden chopsticks. Learn your facts before you go trolling. I just want a trade partner.
The difference from out process is that its 100% all natural and the disposable wooden chopsticks that are made in China now are polluted with harmful chemicals and toxins. Our DWC are 100% natural and contain zero bleach, chemicals, or toxins plus under the strict oversight over of regulatory agencies.
