January 28 is Foreign Trade
January 28 is Foreign Trade Day, a date dedicated to recognizing the importance of international trade activities for the economic development of Brazil and the world. The date was chosen in honor of the signing of the first law on Brazilian foreign trade, which took place on January 28, 1808, when Dom João VI opened Brazilian ports to friendly nations, marking the beginning of the modern history of foreign trade in the country.
This sector is fundamental to Brazil's economic growth and integration with the global economy, being responsible for the movement of goods and services between countries. Foreign trade encompasses areas such as export and import, international logistics, customs, exchange rates and trade agreements, and is vital for the diversification of the economy and the generation of jobs.
Foreign Trade Day is an opportunity to highlight the work of professionals and companies involved in this sector, such as diplomats, traders, consultants, customs agents, and business executives, in addition to promoting reflections on Brazil's challenges and opportunities on the global stage.
