Four-day exhibition in São Paulo aims to connect Bangladeshi exporters with Brazilian buyers and investors
DHAKA, November 9, 2026: Bangladesh is seeking to expand its export footprint in Brazil and the wider Latin American market through the second edition of the Made in Bangladesh Expo, scheduled to take place in São Paulo from March 22 to 25, 2027.
The Brazil Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BBCCI) announced the four-day international trade exhibition at a Meet the Press programme at a city hotel on Monday, saying the event would build on the business connections established during its inaugural edition in 2025.
Brazilian Ambassador to Bangladesh Paulo Fernando Dias Feres attended the announcement programme as the chief guest.
The exhibition will be held at Pro Magno Centro de Eventos in São Paulo, bringing together Bangladeshi manufacturers, exporters and entrepreneurs with Brazilian importers, distributors, retailers, investors and business professionals.
BBCCI aims to use the platform to promote Bangladeshi products, generate export orders, facilitate business-to-business (B2B) meetings and explore investment and joint-venture opportunities between the two countries.
Speaking at the programme, BBCCI Secretary General Md Joynal Abdin highlighted the potential for expanding bilateral trade through export diversification, improved market access, investment promotion and business matchmaking.
The Brazilian ambassador also underscored the importance of strengthening commercial relations between Bangladesh and Brazil.
The programme began with a welcome address by BBCCI Director Afaf Mustahil Haque. Helal Uddin Ahmed moderated the event, while Rezaul Alam Miru delivered the vote of thanks. A question-and-answer session also featured a representative from Ventura Global.
Bangladesh's exports to Brazil reached approximately $187 million in the fiscal year 2024-25, marking a 26 percent increase from the previous fiscal year, according to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) data presented at the programme.
Bangladesh's total merchandise exports stood at around $48.28 billion during the same fiscal year.
The chamber identified significant opportunities for Bangladeshi exporters in Brazil, particularly in knitwear, woven garments, denim, footwear, leather goods, home textiles, jute and diversified jute products, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, agro-processed foods, frozen seafood, plastics, packaging, light engineering and handicrafts.
On the other hand, Bangladesh could increase imports of Brazilian cotton, raw sugar, soybean oil, soybean products, coffee, maize, animal feed ingredients and other agricultural commodities to support its manufacturing and industrial sectors.
These complementary trade interests could provide a foundation for stronger commercial partnerships, BBCCI said.
The 2027 edition will place greater emphasis on direct business engagement, export order generation, product sourcing, distributor recruitment and investment promotion.
The chamber has identified several objectives for the exhibition, including connecting Bangladeshi manufacturers with Brazilian buyers, identifying local distributors and business partners, exploring Brazilian investment in Bangladesh and facilitating the sourcing of Brazilian commodities for Bangladeshi industries.
BBCCI expects the exhibition to provide opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), established manufacturers, exporters and large industrial groups seeking to enter or expand their presence in Brazil and other Latin American markets.
The event will also invite Brazilian companies, importers, distributors, retailers and investors to explore Bangladesh's manufacturing capabilities, sourcing opportunities and investment potential.
BBCCI has opened registration for Bangladeshi manufacturers, exporters, entrepreneurs and business delegation members interested in participating in the exhibition.
Companies can register as exhibitors to showcase their products, meet potential buyers and explore distribution and commercial partnerships.
Early-bird registration will remain open from November 9 to December 8, 2026, while regular registration will run from December 9, 2026, to January 8, 2027.
Ventura Global and SARK Trading & Events are coordinating registration and promotional activities as BBCCI's authorised partners.
BBCCI said the continuation of the Made in Bangladesh Expo reflected its commitment to strengthening bilateral trade and investment and positioning Bangladesh as a competitive sourcing and investment partner for Brazil and the wider Latin American region.
The chamber has called upon Bangladeshi business associations, manufacturers, exporters and industrial leaders to participate in the event and explore opportunities in the Brazilian market.
