How to create a transshipment trade legend? Are there any simple and easy - to - understand methods?
Solved#Entrepot trade#
I've just started working related to transshipment trade. My leader asked me to create a transshipment trade legend, but I have no idea where to start. I want to ask everyone how to specifically create a transshipment trade legend. Are there any simple and standardized production steps or methods? It would be best if there could be a more detailed explanation so that I can quickly get started and complete the task. Please, friends who know, share your experiences. Thank you.

To create a transshipment trade legend, first, clarify its core elements. Transshipment trade involves three parties: the producing country, the transit country (region), and the consuming country.
The first step is to prepare drawing tools, such as professional drawing software (like Visio, etc.) or the simple PPT drawing function will also do.
The second step is to draw three graphics representing different countries, for example, use three circles and label them as the producing country, the transit country, and the consuming country respectively.
The third step is to use arrows to indicate the flow of goods and funds. Point an arrow from the circle of the producing country to the transit country to show the transportation of goods; then point from the transit country to the consuming country, which is the final destination of the goods. The flow of funds is the opposite, from the consuming country to the transit country, and then from the transit country to the producing country.
The fourth step is to add necessary annotations, such as the name of the goods, the trade amount, etc., to make the legend clearer.

You can first draw a sketch on paper to sort out the trade process, and then use software to draw the formal legend. This way, it's less likely to make mistakes.

Use different colors to distinguish the flow of goods and the flow of funds, which will make the legend more intuitive.

If the transshipment trade involves multiple types of goods, use different symbols to represent each type of goods respectively.

After drawing, ask colleagues to take a look. Maybe they can find omissions.
