Credit Recovery Opportunities in the Food Market

THE Credit Recovery is a essential service in various sectors, in Brazil and abroad. In the food sector, which involves producers, industries, distributors and restaurants, good management of receivables is crucial to maintain cash flow and sustainability of the business.

Current food industry news

THE Brazil is the third largest fruit exporter in the world, moving more than US$1.2 billion in 2024, according to data from Brazilian Association of Fruit and Derivative Producers and Exporters – Abrafrutas (2024).

According to ABIA (Brazilian Food Industry Association), the sector's revenue increased 8.3% in 2024, driven by domestic consumption and exports.

With the increase in international shipments and contracts, credit and default challenges are also growing, especially in negotiations with foreign distributors and importers.
