It's OK but hard to do business in. The problem is that the country is so poor that it may be hard to get raw materials. If you can't source good quality raw materials locally, you lose the advantage of cheap labor.

I'll ask my wife, but I think one of the countries that is getting a lot of work these days because of their educated work force, labor rates, relative reliability and local materials is Vietnam.

Now you're really going to be flamed. But what is better? Would people prefer you not do business than to have the work done where it makes the business possible? It's not like we're better off if you shut down your doors because you're too good to have your product finished off shore.

Oh, and look into Ireland. Seriously. They're desperate for manufacturing work and might be offering incentives.
