Survival guide as follows:
1. Lock in exchange rate risk: Use forward contracts to hedge against currency volatility and protect your profits.
2. Explore new markets: Southeast Asia and Africa offer immense potential and diversify single-market risks.
3. Upgrade products: Develop high-value-added products to enhance competitiveness and counter cost pressures.
