What is a Countertrade?
Countertrade is a system of trade where buyers import machinery, equipment, technology, and raw materials from foreign manufacturers on a credit basis and agree to pay back the debt with other products or labor in a given time frame.
Also, countertrade is an international trading system in which governments decrease the trade deficits between two or more countries.
