Missouri Signs Trade Agreement With Brazil
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -Governor Jay Nixon says his
administration has signed a trade agreement with the state of Sao
Paulo, Brazil.
Nixon told reporters in a conference call from Brazil on Monday
that the agreement calls for the two states to identify new
opportunities to expand exports and to share best practices in
education, science, technology and public safety. But Nixon says
the agreement does not include a pledge by the Brazilian state to
import a specific dollar amount of Missouri-made products.
Missouri businesses sold more than $320 million worth of
products last year to Brazil, making the largest South American
nation Missouri's 10th largest export market.
Nixon says Missouri State University is to sign two exchange
agreements Tuesday with the State University of Maringa and the
Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo.
