On July 6, in Brazil, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with leaders of the country's leading economic groups to promote cooperation in areas such as aviation, biofuel production, agriculture, food processing and distribution, etc.
Meeting the Prime Minister, Mr. Fábio Maia de Oliveira, representative of JBS - the world's leading corporation in the field of food processing, with representative offices in 24 countries and territories - said that they have established 2 companies in Vietnam operating in the fields of frozen food distribution and leather production.
JBS has exported its first batch of beef to Vietnam and plans to expand its investment cooperation here. According to Mr. Fábio Maia de Oliveira, they are ready to make Vietnam a production and distribution center for agricultural and food products of the group in the region and globally.
Vietnam and Brazil upgraded their relationship to a Strategic Partnership in November 2024. Based on the foundation of the relationship between the two countries, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh hopes that Brazilian enterprises, including JBS Group, will continue to pay attention and expand investment and business cooperation in the Vietnamese market.
According to the Prime Minister, Vietnam's consumer market has potential with more than 100 million people and a growing middle class. Along with that, Vietnam is ready to be the gateway for JBS to enter the ASEAN region and Northeast Asian countries such as China.
He suggested that JBS increase cooperation with domestic partners to bring the group's products closer to Vietnamese and regional consumers. At the same time, he also hopes that JBS will bring Vietnamese agricultural products to the Brazilian market and their global market network. This is to make the most of Vietnam's 17 free trade agreements with more than 60 leading economies in the world.
Vietnam is promoting negotiations towards signing free trade agreements with Brazil and the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). The Prime Minister asked JBS to contribute to promoting this process, thereby creating conditions for them to operate effectively, continue to expand production, as well as cooperate with Vietnamese partners to improve capacity, transfer technology, etc.
Meeting the Prime Minister on the same day, Mr. Daniel Lopes, Vice President of FS Company, proposed strategic cooperation with Vietnam on biofuel.

The Prime Minister appreciates the initiative and goodwill of cooperation from FS. He said that Vietnam is gradually implementing an energy transition strategy and aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. Developing sustainable energy solutions in the transport sector plays an important role in achieving this goal.
The Government leader assigned relevant agencies of Vietnam to discuss and study the establishment of an exchange and cooperation mechanism between the two governments on biofuels. He suggested that FS coordinate with ministries, sectors and localities of Vietnam to share experiences in the field of biofuel production.
At the same time, he suggested that FS expand investment - business - trade cooperation in Vietnam, increase cooperation with Vietnamese enterprises, including the Vietnam National Energy - Industry Group (PVN) to transfer technology, support participation in the global biofuel value chain, access E10 gasoline at suitable prices, and compete internationally.
In particular, he proposed that this enterprise research so that PVN can cooperate with them to invest in ethanol production in Vietnam or in Brazil.
In addition, the Prime Minister also received the leaders of Granja Fujikura Company - a high-tech agricultural farm in Brazil, part of the Granja Fujikura system originating from Japan.
Mr. Wiliam Shuhei Fujikura, Director of Fujikura Company, said that this year, they are surveying Vietnam and are cooperating with Trong Khoi Company to develop quail farming in the Vietnamese and Asian markets. He wants the Government, ministries, and localities to create conditions for the company to cooperate effectively in Vietnam in the field of quail farming and large-scale high-tech agricultural development.
