The Brazilian city of Foz do Iguacu will host global players in dry beans and special crops for a two-day summit, later next month.

The Dry Beans and Special Crop International Summit 2023 is a global event on pulses and special crops. The summit scheduled for March 30th and 31st, offers companies from all over the world access to opportunities in Latin American countries to supply beans, sesame, peanuts and other specialities.

"The objective of this event is to promote a strategic, high-level meeting, where the global market will see the opportunities and the Brazilian and Latin potential for production and export of beans, sesame and peanuts. Given the current economic and geopolitical scenario, Brazil is ready to meet global demands," said project director Najla Souza, in a press statement.

All exporters in the project will be present at the meeting, which is an initiative of ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) in partnership with Ibrafe (Brazilian Institute of Beans and Pulses). Exporters and importers from America, Europe and Africa are expected at the summit.

The event will be a unique opportunity to network and do business while providing a deep view of the Latin American pulses and special crops market. It will also be an occasion for sharing content through lectures and panel discussions on quality of these agricultural products.
