discussed during negotiations

The risk of incomplete production load.
To reduce the risk, a thorough and in-depth analysis of the state of the market and its changes over the past five years has been carried out. An additional measure to reduce risk is preliminary negotiations with potential buyers, carried out before the start of the project. Also, the project is given additional stability by the fact that the break-even point is at the level of 60% of the planned equipment productivity.
Risk of price fluctuations.
Prices for this type of product are quite stable and their changes are associated with fluctuations in raw material prices. To minimize risks, it is planned to sign long-term contracts, as well as maintaining optimal reserves of raw materials and finished products.
Non-payment risk.
The risk of non-payment for delivered products is minimized by the conclusion of contracts with strict sanctions for non-payment, as well as the use of a flexible system of mutual settlements, providing various payment methods.
