Electronic and hardcopy Trade Information Briefs provide policy-makers and the private sector with export intelligence regarding the potential of SADC ‘s current export ‘basket’ as well as the regions’ potential export basket of goods and services. With these Briefs, TIPS aims to provide SADC exporters with relevant market intelligence to assist them to be more successful in their export endeavours. The underlying premise is that these exporters do not always have access to up-to-date, accurate trade information and thus have little basis for determining which markets are worthwhile targeting.
