Brazil is an upper middle-income country of continental proportions.  Brazil’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) closed out in 2018 with an accumulated growth of 1.1 percent compared to the previous year.  This is the second consecutive increase in the GDP, which amounted to R$ 6.6 trillion (US$1.8 trillion), positioning the country as the largest economy in Latin America.  The Brazil food and beverage sector reached $170 billion in 2018, an increase of two percent compared to the previous year.  Although Brazil is still recovering from one of the most severe economic crises in its history, the country’s prospects for the economy are positive for the upcoming years.  Moreover, Brazil just approved the pension reform, considered the first of several structural reforms needed for its sustainable economic growth.  Therefore, despite the economic challenges, Brazil continues to present opportunities for U.S exporters of food and beverage products.
