About Us
The bulk of trade between Africa and Brazil involves raw commodity or mineral resources. Little or no additional value is added before export. It's a huge missed opportunity - one that we help our clients to take advantage of.
Commonly cited trade inhibitors include:
-
Language barriers
-
Complex trade laws
-
Complex tax laws
-
Entrepreneurs in Africa are unaware of Brazil's industrial capacity .
-
Brazilian manufacturers are not aware of Africa's buying power.
-
Lack of convenient payment channels
Despite these challenges, many opportunities await:
-
Move away from low value commodity exchange, which accounted for 99.91% (US$7.645B*) of the top 80 products traded in 2017.
-
Reduce triangular transactions and make savings through direct trade.
-
Increase agro-business trade, which only accounted for 0.09% ($69m*) of trade in 2017, evidence that Africa is not taking advantage of core Brazilian competencies.
Our proprietary trade solution addresses these inhibitors and opportunities. Before Gringo Parceiro, Africa-Brazil trade experts were few and hard to find. Now our team of experts is unlocking profits for small and medium-sized businesses in critical growth areas on both sides of the south Atlantic.
