Good video. However, I'll disagree on number 2, lack of high quality products. I work in product sourcing in Brazil for many foreign companies, and most of my clients agree that Brazilian products rank highly in terms of quality. This is across categories. I agree with everything else that you said though. Brazil is definitely where the outside world should be looking at.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your perspective, especially since you work directly with sourcing. It’s good to hear that your clients recognize the quality of Brazilian products. Maybe it’s something that’s improving more in certain sectors, or just not as widely recognized yet. And yes, Brazil has a lot to offer to the world!
@@brazilian-native I have a question for you... do you perceive that English-speaking foreigners have had a growing interest in doing business with Brazil, in a general sense, over the past 3-4 years?
@@fromrio2roi I see a lot of restaurants in my city, Fortaleza, being opened by foreigners. Also, along the beach, many hotels are owned by foreigners.
@@brazilian-native I thought it was just me, but I'm glad to see that you're noticing the same thing too. Down here in the south, I've been seeing a lot of Canadians and Europeans setting up shop here. Interesting times!
Is the NFL popular in Brazil? I saw there was a NFL game between Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in Sao Paolo Corinthians stadium. The US Media said the NFL teams and fans were banned from wearing green in the Corinthians stadium. But in the live game on TV many Brazilian fans and the GB Packers team were wearing green. Philadelphia Eagles usually wear Green too but wore black for the game.
The NFL is getting more popular in Brazil, but still, soccer is the main sport here. A lot of Brazilians are starting to like American football more, and games like this one help a lot to make it bigger. About the green thing, it's kind of a joke here because Corinthians has a big rivalry with Palmeiras, and Palmeiras’ color is green. So, in the Corinthians stadium, people usually say you can’t wear green, but it’s not a real rule, just something from soccer tradition. That's why maybe some people said it, but in the end, like you saw, the fans and the Packers team wore green, and it was fine. The Eagles wearing black, I think it was just their choice for this game.
Hell no, Football is NOT popular in BR. I would probably guess that less than 5% know the rules of the game & how it's played, let alone even know what it is. . .. But, it probably gained a few fans from that game tho
Hello, thanks for your video. I'm from Nigeria and will be in Brazil soon. Please will like to know if pastries business and skin care products will be profitable in Brazil. I'm a baker and I also produce skin care products.
Hello Chinonso, thank you for reaching out! Both the pastries and skincare business have good potential in Brazil. The food industry, especially for baked goods, has a strong demand, with Brazilians enjoying a wide range of pastries and snacks. If you offer unique flavors or specialize in certain types of pastries, there’s definitely room to succeed. Regarding skincare, it's a growing market, and consumers are becoming more interested in natural and high-quality products. If you bring something distinct, such as organic or specialized skincare, you can also find a niche. Both fields can be profitable, especially if you target the right audience and location. Best of luck with your journey to Brazil!
@@ChinonsoOkereke-jx7ju Yes, São Paulo is definitely a strategic place for business. It’s the financial hub of Brazil, with a strong economy and a large consumer market. Other cities to consider are Rio de Janeiro, which attracts a lot of tourism, and Florianópolis, known for its tech scene and quality of life. Belo Horizonte and Curitiba also have growing business opportunities in various sectors.
To open a business in Brazil, you'll need an investor visa, which allows foreigners to live and work in the country while managing their business. You'll also need to present a business plan that demonstrates how your venture will contribute to the local economy and create jobs. Consulting an immigration lawyer can help ensure everything goes smoothly with the process.
