Virtual business delegation to Brazil

The virtual delegation programme offers direct meetings with a selection of the largest Brazilian pig producing companies, as well as in-depth information and knowledge sharing on central aspects of sustainable pig production in a Brazilian business setting. This will provide unique opportunities for companies with relevant solutions along the primary production part of the pig value chain.

The Danish Agriculture & Food Council (DAFC) and the Trade Council in São Paulo – and co-financed by the Trade Council - invite your company to join this business delegation focused on the Brazilian pig production, to follow up on our previous pig delegations targeting the Brazil pig production market. With this business activity, you will have the opportunity to meet with decision makers from main pig production companies in Brazil responsible for primary production of their companies. Sustainability related sub-topics such as input management (e.g. feed/genetics), side-stream management (e.g. manure/biogas handling), biosecurity (e.g. hygiene handling), animal health, production process optimisation (equipment/facilities) etc. will be central parts of the agenda and selling points for you as a Danish solution provider. 

What will you get?

You get to:

• Participate in a virtual seminar with Brazilian stakeholders within primary production to learn about the Brazilian pig sector, pitch your company solutions for a broad audience and take part in a Q&A session;
• Meet a targeted selection of key Brazilian pig producers online and learn about their specific demands and key challenges through their own presentations;
• Hold direct B2B meetings and present your own products and solutions to the decision-making level;
• Obtain exposure through a digital, focused exporters' catalogue targeted at the Brazilian producers.

Who should join?

This business delegation is relevant for companies which supply sustainable products and solutions that can help to handle issues such as food safety, biosecurity (e.g., salmonella), automation, and labour health/safety in both the primary production part, such as:

• Equipment and technology for stables and primary production facilities
• Feed/feed supplements and feed mill technologies 
• Manure handling technologies
• Genetics
• Facility ventilation
• Hygiene/bio-security solutions
• Analytical tools
• Management, advisory services, etc.

Companies which are either looking into new business development opportunities or are already present or want to expand in Brazil within the pig segment will benefit from participating in the delegation.

Why join?

If you are interested in positioning your company among the main pig producers and exporters in Brazil, this is a relevant business delegation for you.

Brazil has a huge potential for agricultural production and already today positions itself as the largest net food exporter in the world, being one of the main global players in the agriculture and livestock sector. Currently, the sector contributes to more than 20% of Brazil’s GDP and is responsible for 10% of global trade within agriculture. 

Commercial exposure

In order to arrange the B2B meetings at the most relevant level, you will also be offered the opportunity of obtaining further exposure by filling in a company profile. The exporters’ catalogue will work as your selling platform prior to the visit, and the Brazilian companies will use it to qualify the discussion during the meetings the Danish companies. In case you do not already have a company profile from previous delegation participation (or you need to update your current profile), TC São Paulo will provide you with a template, which is to be returned to alexho@um.dk no later than 1 May 2024.

What is the price?

Participation in the delegation programme is DKK 7,000 (excluding VAT) per Danish company. This includes a 50% subsidy by The Trade Council, as this event is subject to the support schemes of the council.

NOTE: The Danish company is free to have its local representatives represent your company in full during the event. On the registration form you can, if relevant, therefore add the contact information of the local participating person/company. However, only Danish companies in Denmark with a Danish CVR number can register for participation, and the invoice will always be issued in DKK to the Danish company address. We reserve the right to offer you participation at a different price should any of the criteria change. Should this result in a higher price than quoted, you have the right to cancel your participation.

NOTE: The price is based on 7 participating companies, who are all eligible for subsidy, and 50 percent subsidy (already granted) from the Trade Council of Denmark. If your company is not eligible for subsidy due to de-minimis issues (having received more than 1,5 mio. DKK in de-minimis subsidy within the past 3 years, including the present) you are binding yourself to pay the full price, meaning without the subsidy. The same conditions apply if you do not wish to receive subsidy.
