Best Trade Specialists

The Regional Trade Promotion (RTP) network offers Central Asian companies and entrepreneurs services on regional trade promotion to help locate customers and suppliers both in and outside Central Asian region.

RTP services are provided by trade specialists of the USAID Enterprise Development Project as well as by partner organizations throughout Central Asian region. Currently our trade specialists are working in 17 cities of all Central Asian countries.

For over three years in business the RTP network has facilitated deals worth more than $100 million USD.

These accomplishments are directly linked to high quality of RTP services, expertise and skills of professional assistance in securing deals and consulting services on international trade activities, as well as to active participation and commitment of the trade specialists to further strengthening and expansion of the Central Asian RTP network. Starting from August 2005 achievements and contribution of each trade specialist to the Central Asian RTP network development will be recognized by selecting the best performing RTP specialist of the month.

We congratulate RTP Practice Specialist from EDP Ashgabat (Turkmenistan) Vladislav Erniyazov on being selected as the best RTP Practice Specialist of November 2005.

During November 2005 Vladislav has delivered 39 services including 33 RTP services to 12 clients and 6 RTP partner support services to "DMD" JSC, the RTP partner in Ashgabat. His advice and assistance as a mentor to the RTP partner have resulted in facilitation of the import trade deal (rolled metal into Turkmenistan from Russia) worth of $1,877,825, the highest ever trade deal facilitated by RTP in Turkmenistan.

Vladislav has continuously demonstrated a strong commitment to become a valuable member of the RTP network and to contribute his knowledge and skills to its further development.
