For many years I worked in the Commercial Section of the Embassy of Brazil in Japan, promoting exports of Brazilian products.
I developed deep familiarity with producers across Brazil, the latest trends in food, and industry structure—working at the forefront of official engagements and market opening.
After leaving the embassy, I continued to support Brazil–Japan business through import intermediation for honey and propolis, on-the-ground research for Japanese clients, and more.
With resource prices still climbing, Brazil offers opportunities that can give both countries new options.
