આજે આપણે જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ વિશે સમજીશું. જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ શું છે? તે કેવી રીતે કામ કરે છે? તે આપણા જીવન પર કેવી અસર કરી રહી છે? 

જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ શું છે?

આ એક એવી ફિલ્ડ છે જેમાં કોઈપણ જીવંત વસ્તુઓ જેમકે પ્રાણી,પક્ષી, છોડ કે માનવ ના જિન્સને સમજીને એમાં મોડિફિકેશન કરી ને જોઈતા ગુણધર્મો મેળવવાના  ટેકનિકલ જ્ઞાન ને જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ કહેવાય છે. હવે તમને સવાલ થતો હોય કે આ જિન્સ શું હોય?  જિન્સ ને સમજવા માટે ની એક લાંબી પ્રોસેસ છે પરંતું શોર્ટ માં કોઈ પણ જીવંત વાસ્તુઓ નું શરીર હજારો-કરોડો સેલ થી બનેલુ હોય છે અને આ સેલ ની અંદર એક સ્ટ્રક્ચર હોય છે જેને જીન્સ કહેવાય છે અને આ સ્ટ્રક્ચર વારસાગત રીતે બનેલુ હોય છે. આ સ્ટ્રક્ચર માં ફેરફાર કરી ને જોઈતા ગુણધર્મો મેળવી શકાય છે. 

તે કેવી રીતે કામ કરે છે?

જિન્સને બદલવા જેનોમી એડિટિંગ નો ઉપયોગ થાય છે. જેમાં સૌથી સારી સિસ્ટમ ક્રિસ્પર-કૅર્સ૯(CRISPER cas9) ને માનવામાં આવે છે. કેમ કે તે તે અન્ય જીનોમ સંપાદન પદ્ધતિઓ કરતાં ઝડપી, સસ્તું, વધુ સચોટ અને વધુ કાર્યક્ષમ છે. ક્રીસ્પર ટેકનોલોજી નો ઉપયોગ કરીને  હ્યુમન બોડી માં પણ ગણા બધા બદલાવ કરી શકાશે. જેમકે આપણી ઊંચાઈ-લંબાઈ વધારી શકાશે ઘટાડી શકાશે , આપડો સ્વભાવ, આપડ ને થતા ગંભીર રોગો નુ નીવારણ જેમ કે કેન્સર,વધતી ઉમર ને રોકવી  આ બધુંજ જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ ની મદદથી ભવિષ્ય માં શક્ય હશે . છે ને નવાઈ ની વાત! 

તે આપણા જીવન પર કેવી અસર કરી રહી છે?

આ સાયન્સ નો ઉપયોગ હાલ માં છોડ-વનસ્પતિ ઉપર થઇ રહ્યો છે અને ઘણા એવા એક્સપેરિમેન્ટ કર્યા છે જેનો લાભ સીધો માનવ જીવન ને થઇ રહ્યો છે. જેમકે ગોલ્ડન રાઇસ, આ એક  પ્રકારનું જિનેટિક એન્જિનિરીંગ નો ઉપયોગ કરી વિકસાવવામાં આવેલું અનાજ છે. જ્યારે 1980ના દાયકામાં મોટાભાગના દેશોમાં લોકોમાં વિટામિન A ની ઉણપ થવા લાગી અને મોટા ભાગના બાળકો કુપોષણનો શિકાર થવા લાગ્યા હતા. આ સમસ્યાને નિવારવા વૈજ્ઞાનિકોએ જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગ ની મદદથી ગોલ્ડન રાઈસ નો આવિષ્કાર કર્યો. ગોલ્ડન રાઈસમાંથી મેળવેલ કેરોટીન માનવમાં અસરકારક રીતે વિટામિન A માં રૂપાંતરિત થાય છે. આવા તો ઘણા ઉદાહરણો છે જેમકે નોન- ક્રાઇંગ ઓનિઓન, હવે ડુંગળીનું સંશોધન કરવામાં આવી છે જેના સમારવાથી આંખમાં પાણી નહીં નીકળે. ફાસ્ટર ગ્રોઈંગ ટ્રી, સાઈઝમાં મોટા અને લાંબા સમય સુધી ચાલતા ટમેટાં, જંતુનાશક મકાઈ જે  જિનેટિક એન્જિનિયરિંગના ઉદાહરણો છે.

Well, Find online international buyer has many ways and I will try to explain one of it. It is B2B portals, Just go through of it and you can understand how B2B portals are effective way to find international buyer. 

B2B portals

In international business, B2B portals are very helpful for find buyers. There are many reasons behind it. There are different B2B portals in different country and they give option to free registration of your business on their portal. So register in all B2B portals in origin country and also in other countries which are your target market of your product. This step will increase online presence of your business because B2B portals have there own ranking on google. If buyer will search about your product or website, your website is showing in many link on google search because of this B2B portals. 

Also get 1 paid portal membership. You have to spend money as a marketing investment if you want to find buyer in short period. This step will show your genuinity and push the buyer to know about you. For example, If you get Indiamart or Alibaba membership , then this company never give verified symbol on your page interface without proper verification and conformation. And once they verified your company, then obliviously buyer will trust on you and your company. In international business, tractability and credibility is the key of success. 

If you done above two step, then whenever buyer search about product which you want to export. There is more chance to show your company website and name in first page of google search and if your company is verified by prominent B2B portal than it increase tractability and create positive image in front of buyer and buyer will definitely approach to you.

How to find buyers in export business || Offline approach || Trade events

Export business is quite tough business compare to import. Because there are many fake buyers available in international market. In India, People select products , they also have IEC but they could not find buyers for Export their products. Let I share my personal views on how to find International Buyer.

Well, there are many ways to find international buyers but we will discuss only effective ways of find buyers. The most effective way is offline marketing. Offline marketing include trade events organized by export promotion councils, direct visit to factory or hire agent, friends or family members in target country. Let we see all offline approach in details.

• Trade events Organized by export promotion councils.

Majority products are divided in different categories, and there are export promotion councils are available for every category. For example, APEDA( Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) is for organics food products. This councils which are government body which are organize international tours and give chance to exporters to promote there business in target market. They organized exhibitions. Be part of this exhibition as a exporter. It has very good experience and highly chance to get genuine buyer in this exhibitions. Also exporter can find International agents here who are connected to buyer with exporters.

• Direct approach to buyer  

 If you  pay of visa and flight and bear cost of international travel that means you are seeking genuine buyer and also you are genuine supplier. It is the mindset of buyer. Not exporter but importer also finding genuine supplier, They also have fear of fraud. But if you visit direct to buyer Wearhouse or soap or manufacturing unit. It is very effective way because, you will also see the empire of buyer and you can easily decide that the buyer is genuine or not. But try to do not go direct approach, first take appointment by mail or call otherwise in some countries it is not way to meet and can create negative effect in front of buyer. 

• Hire friend or family members 

Nowadays, Indian community is in every country. Every body have friend and families in foreign county. Exporter can hire them with fix pay per shipment and tell them approach to buyer through call or direct visit and you can set up your business with very easy way. You can conduct market research in small cost by the help of them. Well it is also part time income for foreign Indians and they will do your work. Don't worry if you do not have any family or friends in foreign country. Exporters can find Indian people by social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp. They made groups for examples, Indians in UK on social media. You can hire your freelancer or executive from there also.

So these are offline ways to find international buyer. We will discuss online ways to find buyer in export business in future blogs.

Tropical Cyclone frequency is increased in Gujarat in recent years.

In recent days, Biparjoy cyclone is become dangerous and converting in severe cyclone. However, This cyclone is changing its direction but still some costal areas in Gujarat are in threat. 

But why cyclone frequency is increasing in past two decades in Gujarat? If we go to the history of severe cyclone, There are only one severe cyclone in Gujarat in 2001 to 2020 tenure of two decades, First cyclone Gujarat in 2001 and cyclone Vayu in 2019. While there are 2 cyclone in 3 years cyclone Tauktae in 2021 and cyclone Biparjoy in 2023.

This consequences have because of global warming. We all know that global warming is increasing day by day and because of it, sea surface temperature(SST) of Indian Ocean is increasing and become high compare than past. Cyclones are created because of two things, create low pressure on surface due to warm air goes up and second is latent heat which is increase because of water drops. 

 Due to global warming effect, warm temperature is increasing and it cause more moisture in atmosphere. Moisture is directly effect on creation of cyclone.

We Gujarati see two severe cyclone in last three years. Many scientist warn about this consequences and we have to stop global warming.
