About 100 Brazil enterprises are present at the four-day exhibition, trying to promote their agricultural products, lumber, clothes, ornament and craftwork.

Electronic companies, trade companies and banks are also presented to promote their "invisible products."

Wladimir Pomar, president of the Brazil International Exchanges Association, said Brazil wants to show its great potential in addition to football and carnival which are special in Brazil. "Brazil wants to strengthen its cooperation in all fields with China."

According to Pomar, this is the first time for Brazil to hold an exhibition with almost all its big companies, such as Petrobras, Embraer, Electrobras and Vale de Rio Doce. It shows that the China market is very attractive, he said.

Chinese statistics show that bilateral trade volume reached US$8 billion in 2003. Brazil has become China's largest trade partner in Latin American countries, while China is the fourth largest trade partner to Brazil.
