Scott Heads to Brazil

October 20th, 2011 by flanews

Later tonight Governor Rick Scott will fly to Brazil with a 180 political and business leaders from Florida. Their goal, create more business partnerships with Brazilian companies. Brazil is already Florida’s biggest trading partner. Florida exported 13 billion dollars in goods to the South American Country last year. Scott wants to capitalize on the business relationship.

“There’s a lot technology that growing there and so I would like them to invest in Florida and build plants in Florida and then a lot of it is tourism,” said Scott.

We caught up with Scott around 11:00 today before he left Tallahassee. This is the governor’s third trade mission since he took office in January.
