Cities like Rio de Janeiro are brimming with buyers in Brazil, home to 200 million people.

Brazil has been in the news of late more for political turmoil than economic dynamism, but the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s recent Trade newsletter shows that the country is still a major source of potential sales for firms in the state — at least in certain categories. 

The department’s “active trade leads” include a variety of inquiries from Brazilian companies looking to source specific products from here, from industrial equipment like boring machines and portable lathes to consumables like dietary supplements and gourmet jams and sauces. 

The leads have deadlines for responses ranging from Nov. 30 to Jan. 4. See the full list:
