RAMSEY, N.J., Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Premium Products International (PPI), a leading company specializing in the sourcing, logistics, pricing, and marketing of wholesale products, is excited to announce a strategic shift in its supply chain strategy. In response to the rising ocean freight rates and logistical challenges associated with sourcing from Asia, PPI is now focusing on Brazil as a primary sourcing origin for US-based companies.
Addressing Supply Chain Challenges
The global trade environment has become increasingly complex, with recent spikes in ocean freight rates significantly impacting the cost and reliability of sourcing from Asia. Freight rates for a 40ft container from China to the US have surged from $3,500 to $7,000. Companies like MSC now charge premium rates, ranging from $8,000 to $10,000 from China to the US for guaranteed space, and from India to the US is $10,000 or more for guaranteed space.
Bad weather in Asia, longer transit routes due to geopolitical tensions, and container shortages have exacerbated these challenges. These factors have led to significant delays and increased costs. By shifting focus to Brazil, PPI aims to mitigate these challenges by leveraging Brazil’s stable shipping rates, high-quality manufacturing options, and reduced transit times, ensuring a more reliable and cost-effective supply chain for US-based companies.
Why Brazil?
PPI recognizes the critical need for diversification in supply chains to mitigate risks and ensure stability. Brazil presents a promising alternative with stable shipping rates and a range of high-quality manufacturing options. Key benefits of sourcing from Brazil include:
- Cost Savings: Stable shipping rates enable more predictable logistics costs, improving overall budget planning and pricing strategies.
- Reduced Risk: Diversifying suppliers reduces exposure to geopolitical issues, trade restrictions, and supply chain disruptions.
- Quality and Reliability: Brazil offers high-quality manufacturing options that meet international standards.
- Faster Lead Times: Depending on the location, sourcing from Brazil can result in shorter lead times compared to China, ensuring quicker product turnaround.
