Food
The food sector encompasses industries responsible for transforming agricultural products into food and beverages for human and animal consumption. It is one of the largest segments of the Brazilian economy, responsible for processing 58% of all agricultural production in the country and generating 1.8 million direct jobs.
The food industry is made up of several sectors, such as meat, dairy, cereals, pasta, oils, sugar, coffee, chocolate, cookies, beverages, condiments, preserves, frozen foods, among others.
Brazil stands out mainly in exports of meat, sugar, coffee, juices and fruits. The main trading partners are the United States, China, the European Union and Japan.
The Brazilian food industry faces several challenges to remain competitive and sustainable. Companies in the sector need to be alert and ready to adjust their processes to meet the changing habits and preferences of consumers, who are increasingly demanding and aware of the quality, origin, safety and environmental impact of the food they consume. Another factor that has a major impact is compliance with the health and regulatory standards of the national and international markets, which require high standards of food quality and traceability.
