Companies from Brazil that participate in Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) projects had growth of 27.5% in their exports from January to May this year when compared with the same months in 2007. The figures were disclosed by the Apex-Brasil.
The projects are developed by the Apex in partnership with over 60 sector organizations. The research shows that the rate of growth of exports of companies that participate in the programs was greater than that of foreign sales of Brazilian companies as a whole during the period, which expanded 19.14%.
The results of the work were presented by Apex president Alessandro Teixeira, during the Apex-Brasil III Strategic Alignment Workshop. According to the minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, Miguel Jorge, who was at the meeting, constant coordination between the government and the private sector is part of the process to strengthen the Brazilian position on the foreign market.
