As mentioned, the diatomaceous earth that the product is composed of is sourced from quarries in the Americas, but the finished product itself was tested and approved in Hedley’s Winnipeg laboratory 20 years ago and continues to be produced and sold in Canada (Hedley Technologies, 2014d). By exporting Protect-It® from Canada to Nepal, Hedley Technologies will most likely hire more employees to meet the new product demand. The exportation will support the Canadian economy, and if the Nepalese people are satisfied with this product, it is likely that the trading between Nepal and Canada will increase. Also, with marketing opportunities in Nepal and other potential countries, more Canadian companies may begin producing other variations of this product which could benefit Canadian farmers and all other farmers who use a diatomaceous earth insecticide in their stored grains. Additionally, the exportation of Protect-It® to Nepal would have a positive impact on the trucking, rail and ship transport as it would need to be transported via truck or train before it could be loaded onto a cargo ship for exportation (T. Murphy, personal email communication, November 24, 2015).
