Mot du président

We have been waiting it for several years now, it is a pleasure and honor that I present to you the new edition of the directory of exporters. This edition is marked by its new “catalog” type format, which presents and highlights the main exporting companies and their flagship products. It is divided by export sectors ranging from the food industry to the audiovisual sector, including cosmetics, pearl culture, crafts and shipbuilding. While reading, you can discover part of all the wealth and know-how existing in French Polynesia and which have great success on foreign markets. This directory has been designed with the objective of being a great international and promotional tool for our exporting companies. Thanks to its new format, the people we meet during the various international operations of our institutions will have direct and concrete information on exportable products and the companies that can supply them. They will also have access to the list of logistics companies and local partners to help them in their researches in Polynesia. This directory is translated into French and English for the understanding to a larger number. It will also be published online in electronic format. Direct links to each company's emails and websites will allow them to be more visible and to create new business relationships. The directory will be updated every year with new products and exporting companies. The different CCISM networks, Business France (French Agency for export promotion) and Entreprise Europe Network, will also allow its rapid dissemination. My wish for this new edition of the exporters directory is to create new business links between French Polynesian companies and foreign markets, but also that these companies and all the wealth and know-how of French Polynesia, be visible from largest number of people in the world.
