Market Research for Import/Export

We are in the process of starting an Import/Export company. We are looking for someone to conduct Market Research for us. The research will need to consist of market prices, competitors, cost and pricing etc. We are looking for someone that will be able to perform this research for us on an ongoing basis. We want someone who will be a part of the team and will put forth the required effort as if it were your own products you were importing/exporting. We would prefer someone with marketing research experience in the import/export business.
