CJ Logistics and KOTRA Support Overseas Logistics for Small and Medium Enterprises
KOTRA's 'Overseas Logistics Network Project' Underway
[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] CJ Logistics announced on the 6th that it will carry out the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA)'s overseas logistics network project to support the smooth overseas logistics of our small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies.
Our SMEs and mid-sized companies have faced difficulties in investing in or securing local overseas logistics facilities or finding reliable logistics partners due to insufficient cargo volume, financial resources, and information. In particular, many SMEs and mid-sized companies have experienced disruptions in overseas logistics due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
KOTRA's overseas logistics network project allows SMEs and mid-sized companies, which find it difficult to independently establish logistics centers overseas, to jointly use logistics centers of partner logistics companies. KOTRA supports related procedures and costs mainly for world-class products, K-quarantine, materials, parts and equipment, and e-commerce entry companies.
CJ Logistics proposes the most suitable joint logistics center hubs and logistics processes based on the cargo characteristics, volume, and countries of SMEs and mid-sized companies through domestic and overseas local consultation offices. Through this, SMEs and mid-sized companies can reduce logistics costs and shorten delivery times.
CJ Logistics stated, "In line with government policies, we will join hands with various organizations such as KOTRA to support the smooth overseas logistics of SMEs and mid-sized companies so that these companies can operate competitively overseas," adding, "We will contribute to further solidifying South Korea's position as an export powerhouse."
