FENIN had exhibitors' record in this edition, that is taking place in Gramado, RS, from January 22 to 25, with near 700 exhibitors. However, rare are the ones who have export experience.
"It is the second time I come to Brazil and I knew it would be difficult to find exporters in a fair such as this one. I was looking for fashion, design, but the companies that make the pieces which I liked did not have export experience or prices in dollar.
I go back home with the expectation that the companies to which I left my business cards are interested in exporting and send me the catalogs with correct prices" said Manuel Barbosa, a buyer from Portugal.
