WHY BRAZIL?
With 202 million consumers, Brazil is the 7th largest economy in the
world and represents half of the economy of Latin America.
Brazil is projected to be the 5th largest consumer market by 2020, ahead
of France and the United Kingdom.
The United States and Brazil have always had a close trading partnership.
In 2013, the U.S. was Brazil’s second largest source of imports, and Brazil
was the United States’ seventh largest export market for goods.
In addition to preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games, Brazil has
planned major infrastructure and energy investments. The country holds
opportunities for Virginia exporters in a number of sectors.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“The trade mission allowed
us to reach out to companies
which we would not have
been able to reach on our
own. VEDP’s in-country
consultant did an excellent job
of identifying the right people
and companies to meet with.”
- Trade Mission to Brazil, 2015
“This event made the process
of exploring business options
in Brazil much easier than if
we had taken it on ourselves.
With declining U.S. defense
budgets, it is critical that we
explore international markets
that could offer growth
potential. The Trade Mission
greatly helps us do this.”
- Trade Mission to Brazil, 2014
“This trade mission allowed
us to access Army and Police
units and companies that
we have potential to team
with. All aspects of the trade
mission were excellent.”
- Trade Mission to Brazil, 2014
