How a request works

You tell us what you need. We do the searching, the calls and the checking, so the conversation you finally have with a producer starts from facts.

  1. Your specification

    Product, grade or form, volume, packaging, certifications and destination port.

  2. Search and first calls

    We identify producers and exporters and phone them in Portuguese to confirm they can actually supply.

  3. Shortlist report

    Up to five vetted suppliers with prices, lead times, documents and open questions, in English.

  4. Samples and follow-through

    We coordinate samples and keep communication moving until you decide.

What we verify before recommending anyone

A catalogue is not stock, and a website is not an exporter. Every supplier in a report is checked against these points, and anything we could not confirm is marked as open.

Company registrationActive CNPJ and registered activity, checked in the Brazilian federal registry.
Export capabilityExport history or a named trading partner, and who handles customs.
Health and agricultural recordsMAPA registration or the sanitary permits the product requires.
CertificationsOrganic, fair trade or food-safety certificates, verified with the issuer when possible.
Real capacityVolume, harvest season and lead time confirmed by phone, not taken from a brochure.
Origin and legalityWe do not work with timber or products without traceable, legal origin.

We are a small, new desk. We do not claim a client list we do not have; we would rather show you a careful first report.
