THE number of exhibitors from Brazil has increased this year compared to last year following a keen interest by companies from that country.In an interview, Brazilian Embassy Third Secretary Mr Felipe Ortega said about seven companies were participating in the fair this year.
“Last year one or two companies participated on their own without the Brazilian government.
“This year the government participated as a lot of companies showed interest in being part of the trade fair and we have a bigger presence as seven companies are exhibiting,” said Mr Ortega.
The companies are being said to have were exhibited as they had seen several business opportunities at the trade fair, especially the agricultural sector as they will be interested in supplying machinery and they are also hoping to share agricultural information.
"Zimbabwe agricultural sector is similar to that of Brazil, we have related weather patterns and soil structures. We are looking forward to forming partnerships and share information with other agricultural businesses in the country,” said Mr Ortega
.
He said the Brazilian ambassador will attend the official opening of the trade fair tomorrow.
“The companies and the trade fair will receive support from the Brazilian Ambassador to Zimbabwe Marcia Maro Da Silva who will grace the official opening of the trade fair on Friday,” said Mr Ortega
Since Zimbabwe is largely agrarian, do you think this is an opportunity that could help Zimbabwe as a whole and also boost the economy??
