Opportunities in The North American market
Each year, IPPE brings together the most prominent representatives of the food sector in the world. This year brought together over 1400 exhibitors from more than 130 countries, which makes this event a key space for networking and expanding business opportunities.
Additionally, the United States is the world's second largest consumer market for animal protein and the third main destination for Brazilian exports of the product category supported by the initiative. The country is also the main destination for Brazilian exports of machinery and equipment as a whole. In 2023, US$4 billion were exported to this market, one highlight being its 26 percent growth compared to 2022.
Paulo Guerra, Institutional Relations Manager at ABIMAQ, highlighted the importance of the results obtained by Brazilian participation in IPPE 2024: "This year's edition was crucial for the consolidation of Brazilian companies in the greater emphasis on the animal protein sector in North America. The 11 Brazilian companies supported by the project, which is the result of the partnership between ABIMAQ and ApexBrasil, were able to meet with key players from the US and Latin America markets over the course of three days, reinforcing the brand's participation with former customers and opening up negotiations with future clients."
