Blog about doing business internationally.

Syria has made some changes to how easy it is to start a business in the last ten years, but it still ranked low in the 2010 Doing Business report, dropping from 133rd to 134th in how easy it is to start a business. In 2009, starting a business took 17 days, cost almost 28% of GNI per capita, and had the highest minimum paid-in capital in the world at 1,013% of income per capita. This was 9 times the average for the area. In 2010, Syria cut the capital requirement even more, bringing it down to 355.1% of the income per person.

It is made by extruding synthetic latex through capillaries into the coagulant solution, then washing, drying, and vulcanizing the coagulated wet filament to make an elastic thread. The rubber tree’s sap is taken out.

The farming industry
