The National Confederation of Industries of Brazil, CNI, with the support of the SICINDUSTRIA, the Enterprise Europe Network Consorzio Bridgeconomies, in Italy, are promoting a Company Mission to Brazil for the Agrofood sector to match business interests between Brazilian and European medium size entreprises.

It is known that the EU has twelve trade negotiations under way. One of them is with MERCOSUR composed by four countries: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. This trade has been negotiating for 22 years which implies the importance of developing an agreement between EU and MERCOSUR. The future of its bilateral negotiation is to facilitate the business integration for both continents trying to solve market access issues.

Although the Brazilian market is is highly protected with an applied customs averaging duty of 13.5%, the EU encourages Brazil to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers, and to promote a stable and more open regulatory environment for European investors and traders.

The interests of doing business across Europe and Brazil is based on the plenty opportunities that can be explored for Food and Beverage industries, mostly considering the market size, a considerable amount of consumption, high valorisation of imported products with high quality, open access to products already imported from Greece, Italy, France, among others. Those are the main reasons for including Brazil as a strategic market, which should be accessed by a Company Mission to reach business between European and Brazilians.

Day four: in the morning meetings with europeans institutions in Belo Horizonte and in the afternoon flight to Curitiba.
