Ceará – A state with great potential

Ceará is one of Brazil's most dynamic states when it comes to the production and export of premium food products.Over the past years, the region has become a leading producer, particularly in cashew nuts and tropical fruits.

With its modern infrastructure and a growing network of dedicated producers, Ceará is perfectly positioned to succeed internationally.Eurobrasfood aims to work closely with local partners to leverage this strength for the European market — transparent, fair, and sustainable.


The meeting – Building bridges between Brazil and Europe

During the meeting with Vicente Ferrer and Flávio Themotheo, key topics of international trade were discussed in depth.

The conversation focused on three main objectives:

  • Facilitating market access for European companies to high-quality products from Ceará

  • Establishing sustainable structures for exports and long-term cooperation

  • Enhancing visibility of Brazilian producers in Europe

This was not just an exchange of ideas, but a shared step toward a true partnership — with the clear goal of creating new opportunities for producers in Ceará while providing European buyers with access to premium products.
