Your path to successful raw material exports with MATO GROSSO EXPORTS
The export of raw materials from Brazil follows a clear and structured process at MATO GROSSO EXPORTS. This not only serves efficiency, but above all the protection of all parties involved – especially in an international trading environment with high volumes, deadlines and obligations.
To ensure that you as a buyer or investor are as well prepared as possible, we explain the complete process of a trading project here – transparently, fairly and in a spirit of partnership.
How we work together – from initial contact to delivery.
Thank you for your interest in importing raw materials from Brazil. Compliance with our documented processes is required for specific projects. However, if you would first like to obtain general information or make initial contact with us, we will be happy to assist you – simply by email, via our contact form or via WhatsApp.
We are happy to answer basic questions and help you find the right way to get started – even before you submit a concrete project.
What once began as a specialized trading office has grown into a recognized player in the international commodities business thanks to experience, market intuition and genuine commitment. MATO GROSSO EXPORTS became the link between South America and the global sales markets, a reliable point of contact for companies, investors and decision-makers who are not just looking for products – but solutions that work.
Today, MATO GROSSO combines the best of both worlds: direct proximity to producers in Brazil and South America and a deep understanding of international requirements, quality standards and economic relationships. We act independently, flexibly and with a clear focus on sustainable partnerships that create value – for both sides.
Procedure in 4 clear steps
Successful raw material procurement requires more than just a supplier: it needs a structured process, clear responsibilities and international experience. MATO GROSSO Brazil accompanies you step by step – transparently, reliably and at eye level.
