The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) is coordinating Brazilian companies’ participation in the China International Import Expo (CIIE), one of the largest multi-sector trade shows in China. This year the Agency is in charge of organizing individual booths for 14 companies at the food and beverage pavilion.
The event is a great opportunity for Brazilian companies to develop new contacts and relationships with specialized professionals and potential business partners, as well as introduce their products to the Chinese public. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions, most Brazilian companies will participate through local their representatives.
In addition to individual booths, on-site exhibitors will have access to a fully equipped kitchen, a meeting room and a sample storage room. The agenda also includes a ‘Brazil Coffee Day’, organized in partnership with the Brazilian Consulate in Shanghai and the ‘Brazil Cooking Show’.
For the first time, the CIIE is providing e-CIIE 2022, a digital platform for participants. The platform includes four major sections: showroom, news release, live streaming and matching exhibitors and buyers. Mofocom China invited ApexBrasil to oversee the Brazil National Pavilion section of the e-CIIE 2022. ApexBrasil is also supporting the Consulate General of Brazil in Shanghai to set up the Brazil High Tech pavilion at the trade show. The pavilion will showcase exhibitors from 19 high tech startups.
China is Brazil’s main trading partner, accounting for 31.3% of Brazil’s exports and 21.7% of its imports in 2021. Trade between the two nations reached an historic record of US$ 135.5 billion in 2021, with Brazil recording a surplus of US$ 40.25 billion.
