Foreign Agricultural Service

The USDA is represented in Brazil by three offices: the Office of Agricultural Affairs (OAA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), both located at the American Embassy in Brasília, and the U.S. Agricultural Trade Office (ATO), situated in São Paulo. The former's location aims to facilitate the interaction with the Brazilian Government on agricultural policy and trade issues, while the latter is positioned in the strategic traditional Brazilian business center to capitalize on private sector trade contact. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is also represented in Brazil, with a representative placed at the American Embassy to address sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) matters.

The ATO serves as the intermediary for commercial contacts between Brazilian and U.S. firms, offering its local infrastructure and providing free-of-charge consultation services for U.S. exporters and Brazilian importers interested in launching U.S. products in the local market.  Among the services that can be obtained free of charge at the ATO office are reports with relevant information about Brazilian commodities, food and beverage market informative leaflets regarding initiatives supported by the Office and support to local importers seeking information on trade shows and assistance to new-to-market US companies.
