Gavilon do Brasil, a commodities trading company owned by the Japanese group Marubeni, is one of the largest buyers of grains in the municipality of Sorriso, in Mato Grosso, contributing significantly to the development of agribusiness in the region. Solid relationships with the city's rural producers encourage the export business of soybeans and corn, the city's main crops.

The company has had a unit in the municipality since November 2016, which today represents 15% of exports from the region's area of ​​operation. "The city is extremely important for the development of Brazilian agribusiness, helping the country to be considered one of the world's main grain exporters. And we, at Gavilon, are ready to increasingly cooperate with the development of this sector, both locally and nationally", points out Leonardo Frutoso, the company's Regional Manager.

Sorriso is a strong pillar for the entire Brazilian economy due to its high level of production and exports. Considered the capital of Brazilian agribusiness, the city achieved the highest value of agricultural production in the country, according to IBGE, and is one of the largest national producers of soybeans and corn, appearing among the ten largest agricultural municipalities in the country since 1999.

With this high rate of return on agricultural production, the region is not affected by the various economic crises that have occurred in recent years. For Pedro de Moraes Filho, businessman and rural producer from Sorriso, Gavilon do Brasil contributes to the economic development of the region. "Gavilon's work in the region contributes to the continued evolution of business both in the Brazilian market and in the global food supply", points out the producer.

Combining local knowledge, market intelligence and a global distribution network, Gavilon reinforces the importance of partnerships with local producers in the management of agricultural commodities, creating value in the country's export market.
