Brazil-SA deals amount to $2m

With some 200 million consumers in Brazil of which at least 50% fall into the ‘middle class’ category, the country offers much opportunity to South African exporters and importers. Speaking at the Brasil Trade Mission to Africa 2009 in Johannesburg, Apex-Brasil President Allesandro Teixeira said deals to the value of more than $2 million were closed during the three day mission which saw Brazilian exporters meet with hundreds of South African importers and exporters. “We have not only hosted many South Africans but have seen participation from ten other African countries,” said Teixeira. “And while the partnership between Brazil and South Africa is growing, the partnership between Brazil and other key African countries is also growing.” He said the trade mission was however about more than just signing deals. “It is also about renewing our commitment to Africa. We have brought our trading companies to South Africa, not just to sell, but also to learn from each other.” Some 50 Brazilian companies participated in the trade mission where they met with trade groups from Africa and South Africa over two days. “This was all about increasing trade and knowledge exchange between the countries for both our mutual economic benefit.” He said while the process of increasing trade between the countries had started some years back there was still homework to be done. “We have seen an increase in flights between the two countries, and companies are starting to opt for having offices in both Brazil and South Africa.” He said while there was still a lot to be learnt from each other, it was mutually beneficial to grow trade and expectations were that this would be a reality soon.With some 200 million consumers in Brazil of which at least 50% fall into the ‘middle class’ category, the country offers much opportunity to South African exporters and importers.
