Based on customer orders, the merchandiser who tracks the operation process of products (services) and supervises the execution of orders is the basic talent for foreign trade enterprises to carry out foreign trade business. With the vigorous development of China's foreign trade industry after China's entry into WTO, at the end of 2004, China's trading enterprises obtained the right to operate import and export through filing with the industrial and commercial departments, and the right to operate import and export is no longer the patent of state-owned trading companies.
This means that at present, a large number of foreign trade enterprises' export agents will be dispersed to various production enterprises, which will export themselves, and each enterprise needs several full-time merchandisers to handle its foreign trade business. Without this link, enterprises cannot operate.
This also means that in this year, the social demand of merchandisers will increase exponentially with the growth of foreign trade enterprises.
