The expenses of this trip are usually the plane, the stay, and the export of the plants.To create the application we have our technician, this also means an expense but he is through the application to help any client.

PARTNERSHIPS

We think about getting together with a Thailand company, whose sets are the ones we sell, but at the end it was better for us to be our own company, so we have smaller expenses.
