“As president of the Union, I am very happy with all the benefits this action provides local industry, because before the Round the participating businesspeople are provided Clinics and Lectures to broaden their view of the market, gaining access to knowledge and creating the chance to make them competitive both domestically as well as abroad,” she adds.
Jose Augusto, Foreign Trade director at Ccco Doce, evaluates the company's participation in the event. 'It was very good. Two types of buyers were well defined: those from Portugal, Spain and France, who are in an intermediary phase, just checking things out, because they begin to buy starting June/July. And those from South Africa, Colombia and Jamaica who gave us more concrete perspectives with requests for samples and greater chances of doing business,' he said. “We manufacture beachwear and the receptivity is always good overseas because we invest in quality and design,” he adds.
“We also participated in a Business Meeting promoted by ABIT in September, and we gained great access to the European market through Emanuella Bastos, who incorporated our products to her collections. This time, among all the contacts, I underscore the buyers from Spain and South Africa, who loved our capacity to produce the artisanal on a large scale, which allows us to minimize costs and conquer and maintain customers,' declares Laryssa Almeida C. Reis, Export Director at Czar.
“The buyers who participated in the Business Round were very professional. They knew what they wanted and what truly served their customers. I prepared myself by getting both Brazilian and European models ready, but to my surprise, they preferred the Brazilian models, and the manual work we inserted in the collections seems to have really caught their attention.
“This is the first time I participate in an event this size and I am very satisfied with the results. I didn't sign any deals, but I made lots of contacts and I have good perspectives to make good sales,” evaluates Viviane Boaventura Apolinario, owner of Nature Brazil.
Raimundo Manuel dos Santos Filho, owner of the Emanuele brand, also considered his participation positive. “Of all the editions in which I have ever participated, this is the one with the most exciting results. Besides good contacts, we could see the great receptivity our new line of products received, with more accessible prices. It was a big success with the buyers from Portugal. And we also made some very promising contacts in Germany, Costa Rica and Senegal,” he said.
