The
importance of Minas Gerais in trade with the United
States and Europe has increased greatly in recent years,
...and is likely to continue to do so. Productivity gains,
revised legislation and currency exchange are factors
that have made many more Brazilian finished goods very
competitive.
Several big, medium and small U.S. and European companies are
now exploring sourcing in Brazil, taking advantage of a
highly developed industrial base amid a familiar,
western way of doing business.
We can help and recommend the following:
We will select
the product lines that you want to compare to your
current sourcing alternatives. If available, an
effective way to determine competitiveness of Brazilian
vendors is to select items that you have purchased in
the past and for which you have accurate comparative
cost information.
We
will locate qualified suppliers in Minas Gerais and
request valid quotes. Compute transportation and other
costs associated with bringing the items to their
desired destination. From this you can evaluate the
desirability of sourcing Brazilian products.
Once you have chosen the target products and suppliers,
we assist you to negotiate the desired price, terms, quality and delivery
parameters.
