BUSINESSES can see the opportunities on offer in Brazil as part of a delegation to the country next year.
As part of its programme of market visits, UK Trade & Investment will organise a trip to the South American country to enable companies to find out more about the market and meet potential customers. Brazil is the UK's most important trading partner in Latin America, with exports valued at about £1.2bn, with the main UK exports including organic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, machinery and road vehicles.
Jeff Sanders, UK Trade & Investment's international trade advisor, who will accompany the group, said: "Brazil represents one of today's most exciting opportunities, and North-East firms have every chance of competing in this market.
"But trading successfully in Brazil is all about relationships.
"Face-to-face meetings with customers is vital and our market visit offers the ideal chance for companies to introduce themselves to potential clients."
The visit will take place from February 24 to March 3, and the closing date for companies to sign up is November 16.
