Brazil & LATAM Sourcing Specialist | Suppliers, Buyers & Import Export

I help international companies source reliable suppliers worldwide, with deep expertise in Brazil and Latin America — from supplier identification to qualification, negotiation, and export readiness. With 10+ years in international trade and sourcing across Asia and Latin America, I've worked with manufacturers, exporters, and buyers in multiple industries. Having sourced extensively in China before focusing on Brazil and LATAM (including years personally visiting and inspecting factories) I understand the standards international buyers expect, and how to identify suppliers who can actually meet them. Beyond supplier sourcing, I also run buyer-mapping projects: identifying importers and procurement decision-makers across Latin America and making first contact on the client's behalf. In one recent engagement, I mapped buyers across 21 countries for a single client. Sectors I work in regularly: - Agricultural commodities - Industrial raw materials - Biofuels & renewable energy - Food, nutrition & wellness How I work: - Market mapping (suppliers and buyers) - Supplier identification and verification - Due diligence — separating real manufacturers from trading companies - Sample coordination and RFQ management - Price negotiation (English, Portuguese, Spanish) - Export capability assessment - Structured final report you can act on Send me a message describing your sourcing needs, and I'll let you know how I can help.
