GOOD BYE 2018!
2018 is over and this website is 3 years old.
Looking back towards 2018, there were more works than before, so let's get a quick review.
1)Firstly, the fluctuations of exchange rate. The exchange rate on RMB against USD in 2018 depreciated dramatically. Although I have mentioned it many times, here I have to recite it again.
2) Now the website is 3 years old, which means I have accumulated 3 years' price data, so I can try to do a Big Data Analysis and see if it will be right in my summary of 2019.
3) Here I have listed the ocean freight of five ports and the price fluctuations of three ports (Jeddah, Jebel ALi, and Aden) to see what changes we have experienced in 2018
A)Compared with the freight in 2017, the fluctuation is exactly not strong. I did not lose any orders because of the price of ocean freight as it shook within our expected range.
B)Compared with the previous years, the price fluctuation of several products was very severe. In the past, each product had its own price fluctuation range, which rose or fell with the fluctuation of exchange rate and sea freight. But 2018 was different. Some products were basically out of their previous price range due to the sudden surge in raw material prices. For example, chickpeas started to surge in March, and then fell back in September and October. Another example is the sudden rise in the price of red kidney beans after October.
C)I predict that prices will go up from October to November 2019, because that happened in 2016, 2017, 2018.
HELLO 2019!!
1)In 2019, I hope the work blog part can update one article each month. I have lots to say but I don't have enough time to write them down.
2) I have been exposed to a lot of new products in 2018, and I hope to develop them into orders in 2019..
3) finally, I wish you a happy New Year
Good bye 2018! HELLO 2019!
