A member of the rising economic power otherwise known as the BRIC nations and a significant emerging market, Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and the fifth largest country in the world with a population estimated to be about 200 million.
Demographically, Brazil is one of the most ethnically diverse countries and a major consumer of personal care products and fragrances. Brazil’s biological diversity is the largest in the world. It is blessed with abundant raw materials, which can have use in personal care.

As more firms are embracing globalization to reach new customers in new markets, a greater understanding of consumer preferences, important product types, and regulatory issues in this vast and growing market is essential. The NYSCC, in conjunction with its annual Suppliers’ Day event, has assembled a program for May 12 (the day before Suppliers’ Day) that will feature experts on the Brazilian market.

The cost for the symposium is $75 for SCC members and $95 for nonmembers. Additional details are available from Steve Herman ([email protected]) and Marie Thadal ([email protected]).
