How Low Cost Country Manufacturing Affects The Consumer Low cost country manufacturing inevitably has led to lower prices and we're all very quick to take advantage of them but apart from the cost of purchase, this shift in how we satisfy a market need also changes the way that the market is serviced.My particular area of interest is barbecues because much manufacturing of these products has gone abroad in recent years and I like grilling and smoking. The points I make are more general but as examples I will refer to a gas grill for demonstration purposes.Supply ChainLow cost country manufacturing inevitably means that the distance from the point of manufacture to the point of sale is great and that in turn means that forecasting demand has to be pretty spot on. The barbecue season is highly seasonal and reasonably easy to forecast high in summer low in winter, but will we buy smokers? Will we buy grills? Weber or Meco?At the end of the season there's going to be a lot of unsold stock that needs to be moved to make way for the Christmas decorations and that means a great opportunity for you and me to pick up a bargain in the Fall. If you want to buy a grill, and...more

Why travel in Zambia The landlocked country of Zambia gets its name from the prominent Zambezi River that flows through it and for many this is the primary reason to visit Zambia. The small population of the country is concentrated mainly in the capital of Lusaka or around the rich copper belt. In the South Zambia borders all of South Africa's Northern neighbours, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Namibia. DRC sits on the Northern border and Tanzania sits on the North eastern border, while Malawi borders its Eastern side and Angola it's Western.The area was visited peacefully, it would seem, sporadically by British explorers throughout the 18th and 19th century without much effort to colonise the area. At the end of the 19th century through a peaceful agreement with local chiefs the area became the British protectorate known as Northern Rhodesia. For most of the colonial period the region was never ruled by more than 400 ex patriot British administrators. This is a tiny number in comparison to some of the British colonies of this time and could not have been achieved without the cooperation of local rulers and citizens. In 1964 the country was granted independence,...more
