Brazilian Basics
As a leading and influential economy in Latin America (and the
world), Brazil is an attractive country for employers and
employees. Among Brazil's positive attributes are its
rich and warm culture, amazing sites, trendy fashion, and great
food! Brazil's vast and vibrant economy sources include
natural resources and raw materials, solar energy and other forms
of alternative energy, tourism, manufacturing of numerous consumer
products, agricultural goods, and environmental science services
and technology. Indeed, Brazil led in the creation of
Mercosur, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), and he Group

in the Doha Development Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
negotiations. However, companies, including multi-national
entities, doing business or planning to do business in Brazil
should become knowledgeable about this country's generally
