Cooperation | Macau promoted in Brazil

A Macau economic mission is taking part in APAS 2016 in São Paulo, an international trade fair for the supermarket sector organized by the Paulista Association of Supermarkets. The event ends today.
The delegation, organized by the Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), is meeting  with entrepreneurs and institutions to promote the region as a business platform with links to Portuguese- speaking countries.
IPIM is also contacting entrepreneurs interested in placing Brazilian food products in the Exhibition Centre for Food from Portuguese Speaking Countries, which started operating on March 31 in Macau.
The statement released by IPIM advised that the mission would host business meetings between businesspeople from Macau and São Paulo to promote the food exhibition center and Macau as a service platform for economic cooperation and trade between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries.
APAS 2016 is one of the largest fairs in Latin America dedicated to supermarket operators, in order to provide business opportunities for food products from Brazil.
IPIM has also recently organized an exhibition of products from Portuguese- speaking countries in Jiangmen, in the Chinese province of Guangdong.
This was IPIM’s first activity of the year after it launched similar initiatives in 20 Chinese cities in 2015.  MDT/Macauhub
