Brazil, with all its dramas, continues to impose respect in agribusiness.
We look at Brazil in a different way on the outside than when we are on the inside.
French newspapers last week set up a police specializing in anti-fraud; from India creating a protectionist arsenal and addressed three trends ofFoodTech, food technology for 2018.
The first is to control the distribution of its products, the second trend is the agri-food sector increasingly ecological and the third, the development of new plant proteins based on peas.
Meanwhile, the Thomson Reuters (the world’s largest international news and multimedia agency) proclaims that Brazil will eclipse the United States in exporting maize in five years, and that Americans are aging. Who would say…
Troop movements can be seen here (I’m in Europe) for the sake of security, just as in Rio de Janeiro the tanks and soldiers are coming.
In conversation with the Brazilian ambassador here in France, Paulo Cesar Campos de Oliveira, he affirmed that we can have a great time for an approximation of the Latin world.
Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and all of Latin America in a joint search for points in common and business.
Cultural, educational and academic training brings us closer together in affinities that will be very useful in the next five years. There is an immense and great latin market that can be woken up to alliances through, not more of geographical blocks, but of cultural blocks and language.
A common Latin market. It is this view of the Brazilian Ambassador in France. If we gather the GDP of these countries all, yes, we will undoubtedly speak of one of the largest conglomerates on the planet, Latin GDP, and in it agribusiness, ranging from the power of Brazil’s production scale to the sophistication of the best gastronomy and artisanal food of the planet.
In fact, Brazil has a problem. But, I wonder, where there is not?
