Man that's a large size cake.

A befitting inauguration to a promising market, though a bit small (41 Million).

Where are the Iranians (85 Million) and Egyptians (105 Million) as customers??

Got to keep up brothers.....

On a more serious note, what are the shares of the local made TV and Washing Machines in these Middle Eastern Markets (Iran, Iraq, Egypt?) Or is it completely dominated by Turkish products which may be a bit pricier than say Bangladesh products?

Maybe one of the Turkish brothers can please answer this.

Three things count. Quality, price, and after sale services. I wonder, if Walton has established any of its own service centers or has joined hands with the locals.

Could it be that, not being cars, the local maintenance shops will soon master the Walton products repairing methods. Once people start trusting the goods, the sales volume keep on increasing.

Countries like Iraq or Syria should be kept within our sphere of export. Vietnam is far away from this country.

Fantastic ground breaking company. BD hopefully will be as successful in the white good market as it has in RMG. We have no choice to start going up the value chain. LDC graduation looms large in the horizon with opportunities and risks.
