Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Market Research Agency - Saudi Arabia Market Evaluation
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
The California Walnut Commission (CWC) was established in 1987 to develop export markets for California walnut growers and handlers (processors). The CWC is funded by grower assessments. Marketing activities are also funded by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Market Access Program (MAP) under the administration of the department's Foreign Agricultural Service. Programs and marketing activities under this program are subject to the regulations and review of the USDA. Currently activities are conducted in nine markets: China, the European Union Industrial Region, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
In evaluating new market potential for California walnuts, the CWC is seeking a research firm to conduct both consumer and trade market research in Saudi Arabia. This RFP is for market research only and is to determine the feasibility and potential within the Saudi Arabian market. This project requires working knowledge of the Saudi Arabian market and cultural sensitivity to the business and consumer environments.
