The Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts will hold a buyer seller meet for Indian handicrafts businesses in Brazil and Chile this November to promote Indian businesses in the Latin American region.

The EPCH will hold a business to business networking event for 30 Indian businesses from November 25 to 26 in São Paulo, Brazil, and from November 28 to 29 in Santiago, Chile. The two events have been organised in partnership with the Consulate General of India in São Paulo, Brazil, and the Embassy of India in Santiago, Chile.

Businesses specialising in handmade textiles, jewellery, gift items, and accessories will all feature in the buyer-seller meet. The event is for displaying merchandise only and retailing is not permitted. 

Along with the buyer-seller meet, the EPCH will organise one-on-one meetings between the participating EPCH businesses and local buyers to help the businesses forge links in the area. Businesses registered under the Market Access Initiatives scheme could be eligible for a travel grant, according to the EPCH's website. 

The buyer-seller meet will take place at the Centro De Convencoes Frei Caneca in São Paulo and at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Santiago, added the EPCH.
