Why Brazil?

Brazil offers many opportunities to organizations in a broad range of sectors. As one of the BRIC countries, Brazil’s economy is continually growing with a GDP growth of 7.6 percent in 2010. The substantial population and market potential of Brazil are leading to numerous investments from foreign countries, in which The Netherlands has a substantial share. Therefore, it is no wonder that Brazil was selected to host the World Cup Football in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016.

The World Cup Football and the Olympic Gamesare highly useful for the country in terms of development. In meeting its goal to become one of the world’s leading economies, the country still needs improvement considering for example the infrastructure and logistic systems. Brazil has grand plans concerning these sectors for which we conclude that a great deal of modernisation remains necessary. In order to improve the production level of agricultural products, there is also a need for new machines and technologies. Besides, another ‘pre-salt discovery’ in front of the coast of Rio de Janeiro generates many investments for instance in the shipbuilding-, oil and gas-, and shipment sectors.

Because of these investments, opportunities as well as possibilities are present in increasing amounts. Despite this, doing business in and with Brazil is not straightforward for foreign organizations. Below you can find a short note on the barriers to entering the Brazilian market.

Barriers
Experience points out that doing business in Brazil can be difficult. The economy is well protected and the country’s rules and regulations are complex. Examples of this complex system are the different taxes that are charged in the several regions of the country. Organizations therefore have to be well prepared and a qualitative insight in the market situation and stumbling blocks is essential for being successful.
