Feedback on the visit by Queensland Government to Brazil

Queensland wins after investment in Latin America
By Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development, The Honourable Andrew Fraser
Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Belo Horizonte: Queensland´s position as the most proactive State doing business in Latin America is reaping results with the signing of three major agreements today in government, business and education.
Queensland engineering company, Austin Engineering, today signed on to a new joint venture business partnership in Brazilian mining State, Minas Gerais, where the company will commit $US15 million over the next two years.
At the signing in Brazil, Mr Fraser said that Austin Engineering’s new agreement with Delp Engenharia - a company supplying engineering services to the resource sector in Belo Horizonte for more than 40 years - was just one example of the growing trade links between Queensland and Latin America.
“Latin America is the new Asia and Brazil is the powerhouse economy of the region,” Mr Fraser said.
“Austin Engineering is a great example of a company that has built its experience in Queensland and is now finding success on a global scale.
“We strongly support new business opportunities like this because it’s good for Queensland jobs and the economy – one in five jobs are underpinned by trade-related activity.”
Mr Fraser is in city of Belo Horizonte in the mining region of Minas Gerias leading a trade delegation which also includes Chile, Peru and Columbia.
After inspecting the Delp manufacturing facility in Belo Horizonte, Mr Fraser also witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between the University of Queensland and the Minas Gerias state agency for research at the Federal University of Minas Gerias.
Backing the agreement is a $US 2 million (AU $2.15 million) commitment towards new research, with a particular focus on water research.
Mr Fraser also renewed a Statement of Intent with the Minas Gerias Government at a ceremony attended by five senior Ministers – the cooperation agreement focuses on mining, education and training and sharing research.
“Over the past decade Brazil has risen from being our 18th largest export market to our ninth and growing,” Mr Fraser said.
“Merchandise exports have increased by a massive 66 per cent in two years – worth more than $1.1 billion last financial year.
“Only last week, the IMF revised 2010 growth figures for Brazil up to 5.5 per cent from 3.5 per cent.
“I´ve seen first-hand how this economy is powering ahead and what we are seeing today is Queensland companies and institutions benefitting from our strong links with this region.”

Queensland to extend trade representation to Brazil
By Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development, The Honourable Andrew Fraser
Monday, April 26, 2010

Belo Horizonte: Queensland will be the first Australian State to establish trade representation in the emerging economic powerhouse of Brazil as part of the effort to boost export and investment links in Latin America.
Treasurer Andrew Fraser announced today that the Government will appoint a new, Queensland trade representative in Brazil within the next 18 months.
“Queensland is the most active Australian State in Latin America – we want to keep it that way because it’s helping to open doors for Queensland business, and that’s good for Queensland’s economy and local jobs,” Mr Fraser said.
“Today’s announcement means we will be doubling our representation in Latin America, firstly with a representative in Santiago, Chile this year, followed by a representative in Brazil next year.
“Brazil's growing position as an economic powerhouse and as the largest economy in Latin America, offers strong business opportunities and potential for increased trade,” Mr Fraser said.
“Over the past decade, Brazil has risen from being Queensland’s 18th largest merchandise export market to become our 9th largest market. Brazil received merchandise exports from Queensland worth more than $1.1 billion in 2008/09 – representing a 66 per cent increase in just two years.
“Latin America is a vast region with unique requirements for doing business, not the least being the need for buyers and investors to have access to a local contact with strong language and business skills.
“Permanent, on-the-ground representation in Brazil will be key to growing Queensland’s trade and investment links with Latin America, following up and supporting the work already being done by our Trade and Investment Commissioner for the Americas based in Los Angeles,” Mr Fraser said.
Brazil has a diversified economy which is ranked 10th largest in the world, and there are potential opportunities for Queensland exporters in coming years - particularly with the activity in the lead-up to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Mr Fraser is currently leading a 30-member trade mission to Latin America including Chile, Peru, Brazil and Colombia.
Further recognising the importance of Latin America to future growth of Queensland’s exports, Mr Fraser also announced in Chile the placement of a Queensland Government trade representative in the Austrade office in Santiago earlier this week as a new resource for the State’s companies and organisations in Latin America.

Oil & Gas

Petrobras enters Australia via MEO JV
April 14, 2010

BRAZILIAN national oil giant Petrobras will make its first Australian foray by paying up to $US80 million to take a 50 per cent stake in an exploration permit offshore Western Australia.

The deal, which could involve more milestone payments to the Brazilian's partner MEO Australia, will give Petrobras a foothold in an Australian gas market that's fast developing into a major global export player, thanks largely to sustained demand for energy from fast-growing Asian economies.
MEO has been searching for a partner to help it develop its acreage in the Carnarvon Basin, located on Australia's gas-rich North West Shelf, for over a year and market watchers had suspected that Petrobras could be in the running.
Its Artemis prospect could contain up to 12 trillion cubic feet of gas, according to MEO. That would be more than enough to support a stand-alone liquefied natural gas export project, or provide a bountiful third party gas supply source to other LNG projects in the area.
Exploration success, however, isn't guaranteed and MEO got disappointing results from its first exploration well there, Zeus-1, early in 2009.
Petrobras will buy 50 per cent of the permit WA-360-P by funding up to $US41m of the first well's costs, paying MEO $US31.5m cash and covering about $US7.5m of MEO's share of previous costs, adding up to $US80m in total.
In the event of a successful discovery, Petrobras will pay for two follow-up wells to a cap of $US62m and another $US31.5m cash to MEO in January 2011, MEO said in a statement.
MEO will remain operator until completion of the first well, Artemis-1, and then Petrobras has the option to assume operatorship.
An option has been secured over a drilling rig to drill the first well in late 2010, MEO said.
Petrobras' investment had been held up after a minority holder in the exploration permit, Cue Energy Resources, requested changes to some of the deal's provisions.
MEO said today that Petrobras taking 50 per cent of the permit will reduce its holding to 20 per cent. Cue and Moby Oil & Gas will retain their 15 per cent holdings, MEO said.

Ecopetrol Looks to Expand in Brazil, Buys Hess Stake
May 07, 2010, 10:47 AM EDT
By Peter Millard

May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Ecopetrol SA, Colombia’s state-run oil company, is looking to expand in Brazil to boost production after buying a 30 percent stake in an offshore block from Hess Corp., said an Ecopetrol official.
Ecopetrol, based in Bogota, received approval from Brazil’s petroleum regulator to buy half of Hess’s 60 percent stake in the BM-ES-30 block in Brazil’s Espirito Santo offshore basin, oil regulator ANP said today on its website. The purchase price wasn’t disclosed. Spain’s Repsol YPF SA owns the remaining 40 percent of the concession.
“We are evaluating all the opportunities that may come along,” Francisco Celso Ponte, Ecopetrol’s exploration manager for Brazil, said in a telephone interview from Rio de Janeiro. “We continue looking.”
Ecopetrol plans to spend $6.9 billion this year to almost double output to 1 million barrels of oil per day in 2015 from last year. International oil companies including Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. are exploring Brazilian offshore areas, where state-run oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA discovered Tupi, the Americas’ largest crude find since 1976.
Drilling Timetable
Hess, the fifth-biggest U.S. oil company, will continue to run the deepwater block’s operations, Ponte said. Hess found noncommercial quantities of hydrocarbons last year in an exploration well in the area, Gregory Hill, Hess’s president of worldwide exploration and production, said Oct. 28.
Hess, based in New York, and its partners haven’t yet made a decision on the timetable to drill a second exploration well, Ponte said. The contract gives the companies two years to decide on a drilling site, he said.
“We will continue with the exploration plan and we are evaluating the block,” Ponte said.
Ecopetrol is seeking to purchase assets and form ventures in Brazil as part of its expansion plan, Ecopetrol Chief Executive Officer Javier Gutierrez said last month in an interview. Ecopetrol has minority stakes at blocks in Brazil’s Campos, Santos and Para Maranhao basins.

Brazil Farmers Drill for Fertilizer to Sidestep Vale
May 07, 2010, 5:33 PM EDT
By Lucia Kassai

May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Farmers in Brazil have teamed up to drill an area the size of New York for phosphate-based fertilizers, seeking to cut dependency on producers including Vale SA and Mosaic Co. after prices surged.
Farm groups representing about 4,500 soybean and cotton producers in Brazil bought drilling equipment worth about 500,000 reais ($270,000) to prospect for phosphate on 80,000 hectares (197,700 acres) in the center-western state of Mato Grosso. They plan to expand prospecting to another 400,000 hectares and drill 300 to 400 holes in the next 30 days, said Gilson Pinesso, the head of the project.
Mosaic and Vale, which agreed in January to pay $3.8 billion for Bunge’s fertilizer assets in Brazil, control 45 percent of the country’s fertilizer production, said Carlos Florence, the Fertilizer Distributors Association’s managing director. Phosphate prices have more than doubled in six years to about $266 a ton, Florence said by telephone from Sao Paulo.
“Farmers are in the hands of those companies,” Pinesso, owner of eight farms in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, said in a May 4 interview in Sao Paulo. “We want our independence.”
The Mato Grosso Soybean Producers Association and the Mato Grosso Cotton Producers Association formed an exploration company, hired two geologists and 20 other people to conduct the prospecting, Pinesso said.
“We are looking for phosphate, but we may even run into gold here,” Pinesso said, while checking for soybean future prices on his iPhone. He was referring to the history of the state of Mato Grosso, which was developed after a gold rush in the 18th century.
Brazil is the world’s largest producer of sugar and coffee and the second-biggest for soybeans, trailing the U.S.

Food & Beverage

Bud brewer AB InBev gets huge Q1 Brazil boost
BRUSSELS, May 5 (Reuters)

World No. 1 brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI.BR) earned more than expected in the first quarter of 2010 as beer sales surged in booming Brazil and forecast stronger growth in the second half of the year.
The brewer of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Beck's said on Wednesday core profit (EBITDA) rose a like-for-like 5.1 percent in January-March to $3.09 billion, beating a forecast for $2.98 billion in a Reuters poll.
AB InBev had previously forecast a low single-digit percentage rise due to a U.S. market hit by bad weather, a tripling of beer tax in Russia, and higher emerging market commodity prices.
The company's shares opened down, but surged to a three-week high by late morning. At 1440 GMT, they were up 2.5 percent at 36.995 euros, making them the second-strongest in the FTSEurofirst 300 index of Europe's leading stocks .FTEU3.
Analysts said the initial weakness was due to concerns about non-recurring items, which left net profit lower than expected, but a bullish mood about sales in Brazil, where it brews Brahma and Skol, eventually prevailed.
"Brazil was amazingly strong," said Gerard Rijk of ING.
Trevor Stirling of Bernstein Research said AB InBev had got a three percentage point gain from raising its market share in Brazil, the rest largely from vibrant industry expansion.
Overall, the company sold 0.8 percent more barrels, cans and bottles, with a 15.9 percent surge in Brazil, where it has two-thirds of the market, partly offset by a 6.8 percent fall in the United States, where it accounts for half of all beer sales.
AB InBev said volume growth in the second quarter would be in line with that of the first. EBITDA growth would be lower, largely due to marketing costs for the soccer World Cup starting in June, for which Budweiser is the official beer.
"We continue to expect third quarter volume and EBITDA growth above first half levels, increasing further in the fourth quarter," Chief Financial Officer Felipe Dutra told a conference call.
AB InBev, which announced on Tuesday its Bud Light would take over sponsorship of the U.S. National Football League in 2011, said volume comparisons would be easier in the second half, particularly in the United States.

Automotive

Brazil car export surge helps boost April output
SAO PAULO, May 6 (Reuters)

Automobile output in Brazil jumped in April from a year earlier as automakers ramped up production to meet a surge in demand in export and domestic markets, the national automakers' association Anfavea said on Thursday.
Output jumped 14.2 percent in April from a year earlier to 290,000 units, helped by plentiful credit for new vehicle purchases in Brazil. Exports surged 56.6 percent year-on-year to $917 million, underscoring a nascent rebound in the global economy that has revived demand for cars.
Still, output in April tumbled 14.6 percent from March as carmakers adjusted production after government tax breaks expired in Brazil. Sales in April dropped 21.5 percent from March, but were up 18.6 percent from a year earlier, Anfavea said.

Culture

A cross cultural exchange of ideas and creativity

The Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts is setting up a partnership with Instituto Silo Cultural based in Paraty, Brazil, to enrich the personal, arts and cultural practices of Indigenous students and the wider arts community in Australia and Brazil through the delivery of a collaborative exchange program that includes workshops leading to visual and performance outcomes for audiences in each country. The project actively involves Indigenous arts professionals and students from Australia and the Indigenous Quilombola and Caicara peoples from the Rio de Janeiro region of Brazil and will provide a valuable opportunity for cultural exchange and professional development for members of two Indigenous arts organizations.
In the arts community there is an increasing recognition of the value of the cultural traditions of ‘first nations’. For many years these traditions were either ignored, considered as curiosity pieces or just considered ‘primitive’, and therefore of little worth. Today there is a growing awareness of the value of these practices. Among Indigenous artists there is also a growing hunger to create new cultural forms and practice through meaningful cultural exchange between Indigenous peoples. This proposal is important because it enables a cultural exchange between two Indigenous cultural traditions. While geographically far apart both cultures have had to respond to the impacts of colonialism, and indeed continue to do so. It is in these responses that points of commonality and difference will, we believe, provide vital and exciting material that will be culturally enriching for both groups.
This project is a joint collaboration between ACPA and Cultural Silo. In January 2009 The Associate Artistic Director of ACPA Penny Mullen visited Brazil for four weeks with the view to developing an exchange program for Australian Indigenous students in the performing arts area. Director of Silo Cultural, Brazil, Vanda Mota, enthusiastically contributed to the design of the proposed exchange program as a result of a warm and ongoing relationship already developed from Penny’s previous engagement as a teacher of dance at Silo Cultural in Brazil in 2006.
Paraty, Brazil is situated three hours south of Rio de Janeiro. It has recently been appointed custodian of cultural tourism by the Brazilian Government, which has resulted in Paraty being both the curator and progressive force behind cultural arts in Brazil.
Penny conducted on the ground cultural and arts practice research, together with discussions with local cultural and arts practitioners. This resulted in the design of a joint project between Silo Cultural and the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts that through an investigation of culture, music and dance, will assist the Indigenous students of ACPA and the Indigenous participants and students of Brazil to:

Preserve and celebrate the unique qualities of each Indigenous culture.

Discover and explore new cultural attributes.

Stimulate cultural and creative exchange and develop long term cultural relationships.

Develop innovative new Indigenous works within a contemporary context.

Create recordings, performances and exhibitions for a wider arts audience.

The Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts (ACPA) was established in 1997 and is a unique national Indigenous performing arts training institution, providing high quality training in the performance disciplines of dance, music and theatre at Certificate III, through to Advanced Diploma levels. It attracts Indigenous students from urban, regional and remote communities across Australia.
