About this Series

This series was created for international firms who rely on foreign export markets for a substantial portion of their
business or who might be threatened by foreign trade competition. The estimates given in this report were created
using a methodology developed by and under the direct supervision of Professor Philip M. Parker, the Eli Lilly
Chaired Professor of Innovation, Business and Society, at INSEAD. The methodology, relying on historical figures
of economic growth and trade flows, estimates the market shares of some 150 countries for over 500 industrial or
product categories. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical records, as these are
projected for the current year of trade.

1 METHODOLOGY
1.1 OUR APPROACH
This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export
managers who are concerned with the market for raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers.
With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view.
Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact.
I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the
market for raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers for those countries serving the world
market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year
based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a
number of questions. Which countries are supplying raw or retted jute and other textile bast
fibers? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of raw or retted jute
and other textile bast fibers vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world
market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the
most exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers? Which countries are buying their
exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and
exported raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers. The total level of imports and exports on a
worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over
150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country
represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive
countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country
of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a
volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world
totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each
market and the shares that countries are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings
are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this
report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning
purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports, Chapter 3 details the
exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers, for each individual country. Chapter 4
does the same, but for imports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers for all countries in
the world. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading
partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and
exports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers to and from all major countries in the
world. Of the 150 countries considered, if a country is not reported here it is therefore estimated

to have only a negligible level of trade in raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibers (i.e. their
market shares are close or equal to zero percent). "Raw or Retted Jute and Other Textile Bast
Fibers" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations
Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification,
Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "raw or retted jute and other textile bast
fibers" is 2641. For more information on this definition, please refer to the following web site:
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcs.asp?Cl=14&Lg=1&Co=264 .
This report is updated on an annual basis. To ensure that you have the most current version,
please check the web site of ICON Group at www.icongrouponline.com, or call them in the USA
at 858-546-4340.
Important Caveat. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical
records, as these are forecasted for the current year of trade. More importantly, in light of the fact
that unforeseeable factors might interrupt markets in achieving their reported levels, the figures
should be seen as estimates of potential. For example, "mad cow" disease, foot-and- mouth
disease, trade embargoes, labor disputes, military conflicts, acts of terrorism and other events will
certainly affect the actual trade flows recorded for a variety of industry or product categories. In
such cases, the difference between the numbers given in this report and the numbers actually
observed might be interpreted as the "net loss" or "net gain" due to these exogenous events
affecting regular trade flows that would have occurred had these events not have taken place.

5 DISCLAIMERS, WARRANTEES, AND USER

AGREEMENT PROVISIONS
5.1 DISCLAIMERS & SAFE HARBOR
Summary disclaimer. This publication ("Report") does not constitute legal, valuation, tax, or financial consulting advice. Nor is
it a statement on the performance, management capability or future potential (good or bad) of the company(ies), industry(ies),
product(s), region(s), city(ies) or country(ies) ("Topics") discussed. It is offered as an information service to clients, associates,
and academicians. Those interested in specific guidance for legal, strategic, and/or financial or accounting matters should seek
competent professional assistance from their own advisors.
Information was furnished to ICON Group Ltd. ("ICON Group"), and its subsidiaries (ICON Group International, Inc.), by its
internal researchers and/or extracted from public filings, or sources available within the public domain, including other
information providers (e.g. EDGAR filings, national organizations and international organizations). ICON Group does not
promise or warrant that we will obtain information from any particular independent source. Published regularly by ICON Group,
this and similar reports provide analysis on cities, countries, industries, and/or foreign and domestic companies which may or may
not be publicly traded. ICON Group reports are used by various companies and persons including consulting firms, investment
officers, pension fund managers, registered representatives, and other financial service professionals. Any commentary,
observations or discussion by ICON Group about Topic does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell company shares or
make investment decisions. Further, the financial condition or outlook for each Topic may change after the date of the publication,
and ICON Group does not warrant, promise or represent that it will provide report users with notice of that change, nor will ICON
Group promise updates on the information presented.
Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements. ICON Group reports, including the present report, make numerous forward-
looking statements which should be treated as such. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 and similar local laws. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, which may cause a Topic's actual results or outlook in future periods to differ materially from those
forecasted. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, product price volatility, exchange rate volatility, regulation
volatility, product demand volatility, data inaccuracies, computer- or software-generated calculation inacuracies, market
competition, changes in management style, changes in corporate strategy, and risks inherent in international and corporate
operations. Forward-looking statements can be identified in statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts. They use words such as "anticipate,'' "estimate," "expect,'' "project,'' "intend,'' "plan,'' "feel", "think", "hear," "guess,"
"forecast," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating,
economic or financial performance. This equally applies to all statements relating to a Topic, economic variable or company
financial situation. ICON Group recommends that the reader follow the advice of Nancy M. Smith, Director of SEC's Office of
Investor Education and Assistance, "Never, ever, make an investment based solely on what you read in an online newsletter or
Internet bulletin board, especially if the investment involves a small, thinly-traded company that isn't well known … Assume that
the information about these companies is not trustworthy unless you can prove otherwise through your own independent
research." Similar recommendations apply to decisions relating to industry studies, product category studies, corporate strategies
discussions and country evaluations. In the case of ICON Group reports, many factors can affect the actual outcome of the period
discussed, including exchange rate volatility, changes in accounting standards, the lack of oversight or comparability in
accounting standards, changes in economic conditions, changes in competition, changes in the global economy, changes in source
data quality, changes in reported data quality, changes in methodology and similar factors.
Information Accuracy. Although the statements in this report are derived from or based upon various information sources and/or
econometric models that ICON Group believes to be reliable, we do not guarantee their accuracy, reliability, quality, any such
information, or resulting analyses, may be incomplete, rounded, inaccurate or condensed. All estimates included in this report are
subject to change without notice. This report is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a recommendation to invest
in a city, country, industry or product area, or an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of a security, stock, or
financial instrument. This report does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any
particular person or legal entity. With respect to any specific Topic that might be discussed in this report, investors should obtain
individual financial advice based on their own particular circumstances before making an investment decision on the basis of the
information in this report. Investing in either U.S. or non-U.S. securities or markets entails inherent risks. In addition, exchange

rate movements may have an effect on the reliability of the estimates provided in this report. ICON Group is not a registered
Investment Adviser or a Broker/Dealer.
