Brazil: Development and Investment Opportunities in Espirito Santo

Márcio Felix, State Secretary for Development, gives us an overview of Espírito Santo, a State that has one of the highest economic growth rates in Brazil. Its economic base is diversified and deals with production areas in oil and gas, steelmaking and mining, cellulose and ornamental stones. Agriculture is also featured particularly in the coffee and fruit production, as well as metalprocessing, furniture making, clothing, civil construction and food businesses, amongst others. As a result, the State is developping faster than other Brazilian regions and offers great investment opportunities for local and international investors.
