Brazil Texas Chamber of Commerce (BRATECC)

 

As Brazil and the United States continue to expand their trading relations, Texas is playing an increasingly important role. Texas and Brazil share a solid identity in the oil and gas sector and the Brazil-Texas Chamber of Commerce (BRATECC) has been a beacon for companies of that industry.

 

Throughout the last thirteen years of extensive development in the offshore upstream segment in the deep water wells of the Gulf of Mexico and the Campos Field and the Pre-Salt area, Bratecc has been providing a highly specialized forum for its members to uncover and seize valuable business opportunities. In the downstream sector, four petrochemical plants owned by Brazilian companies exemplify the degree of investments and commitment to Texas.

 

BRATECC is also eager to expand in the agribusiness sector. Brazil and the US are two powerhouses in the world stage of agribusiness, and Texas within the US, is a major player in raising cattle and other livestock as well as agricultural crops such as soy, cotton, and corn.

 

BRATECC is creating a forum where authorities, policy makers, scientists from academia, and private business leaders of both countries, particularly the State of Texas, can conduct joint discussions. Areas of focus include scientific development , bilateral policies and agreements, world strategies for food distribution, logistics, biofuels, and GMO crops, to name a few.

 

To support these efforts, BRATECC will be hosting an event concurrent with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in March 2015.
