Local exporters are losing foreign markets and customers because of the global economic crisis and a growing anti-Israel boycott of locally made products following Operation Cast Lead, the Israel Manufacturers Association said Sunday.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

"In addition to the problems and difficulties arising from the global economic crisis, <\/span><\/font> 21 percent of local exporters report that they are facing problems in selling Israeli goods because of an anti-Israel boycott, mainly from the UK and Scandinavian countries<\/strong><\/span><\/font> ," said Yair Rotloi, chairman of the association’s foreign-trade committee.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

A survey conducted among 90 exporters from a variety of sectors found that 53% had lost foreign markets and customers as a result of the global economic crisis. In addition, 62% said they were having trouble collecting payments from foreign clients, while 49% said their customers have asked to pay in installments.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Foreign customers had forced 66% of Israeli exporters to cut prices because of the economic climate, the survey showed.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Twenty-nine percent of exporters reduced business travel abroad by more than 30%, 11% cut it 20%, 6.5% reduced it 10% and 43% reported no change. <\/span><\/font> Twenty-six percent of exporters said business visits by their foreign customers had declined<\/strong><\/span><\/font> .  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
