CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Every country realizes the importance of economic growth to become the developed country. The extremely complex process of economic growth is dependent upon a large number of variables such as trade and price fluctuation, political ups and downs, economic factors and capital accumulation etc. Export-led growth hypothesis describes that growth in exports of country is an important factor to the economic growth of the Country. The hypothesis amplifies that overall growth of economies does not only depend upon increase in labor and capital stock, but also on growth in exports.

The competitiveness in global market leads to production of innovative product and making able the local producers in meeting competition in global market. The contribution of various countries in the global trade state highly significant relation between two variables, expansion in exports and growth in economic activity. Many studies confirm that there is a powerful relation between said variables. In developing countries, the promotion of export is a source to fill the disproportionate gap in the external sector. The experience of china during the 1980s and 1990s intend to support that openness to trade is a method for achieving efficient growth (Findlay & Watson, 1996). During the 1980’s and 1990’s many American countries attempt to privatize their trade strategy in the direction of more oriented strategy. To build more efficient use of limited resources and increased export opportunities, some of the squabbles for more privatized trade policy were allied to increase the competition in international market.

Export marketing can be described as a nation’s economic facilitator, as it facilitates transactions between a country’s productive sector and its international consumer need/demand. It is the critical link in effectively utilizing the production resources of one country to the economic well-being and growth of both the importing and exporting countries. It has also been argued that export marketing and by extension marketing, might by itself go far toward changing the entire economic tone of the existing system, without necessarily changing the methods of production, distribution, population, or of income. What is needed in most developing countries’ (like Nigeria) growth to make economic development realistic and meaningful is to engage in effective export marketing and marketing in general (Opara, B. C. 2010).

The developmental role of exporting can be appreciated from the fact that it earns foreign exchange, increase firms’ sales/profit, lower production cost, create employment, earn international recognition n, enhance reputation, and improve living standard of both the exporting and importing firms/nations.

Panagariya (1995), in a study of Chinas exporting strategy, remarked that, export is a key to high GDP growth rates. The critical economic difficulty faced by Nigeria as a result of oil glut or price fluctuation in the world market stimulated several search for alternative to oil as a sustainer of economic development since the 1980s, hence the need for export marketing as a viable alternative to oil (crude petroleum).
