Rio de Janeiro - The biggest challenge of the wholesale national distributor, today is the lack of investment in road infrastructure in the country, said President of the Brazilian Association of Wholesalers and Distributors of Industrial Products (Abad), Carlos Eduardo Severini, to participate, at Riocentro, in Rio de Janeiro, the 32nd annual convention of the sector.

"We have few paved roads," stressed the head. He said this creates difficulties to meet about 5600 municipalities. The wholesale distributor industry continues to work well in training salespeople and retailers, in conjunction with the Brazilian Service to Support Micro and Small Enterprises (Sebrae).

The president of the Brazilian Association of Chocolate, Cocoa, Peanut, Candy and Products (Abicab), Getulio Ursulino Netto, the great challenge of the sector is out of the coast and go inland. Only the domestic confectionery industry, he said, has 800 000 points of sale. He explained that the work is to wholesale products, market them, "and develop the interior of Brazil."

The 3,500 member companies Abad had a turnover of R$ 164.5 billion last year. This accounted for 51.8% of the market drive domestic consumption, which equates to about 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - the sum of goods and services produced in the country. In nominal terms, the increase registered over 2010 and reached 8.8% in real terms, 2.2%.

Carlos Eduardo Severini said in the first half of 2012, the wholesale distributor industry experienced a nominal increase of 10% of revenue and a net increase of 5.2%, due in particular to the consumption of the classes C and D. The expansion of the sector this year will be known only in February 2013. Severini said, however, that the expectation is to reach a little higher than GDP, which is forecast to be around 2%.

Although GDP in the first half has evolved only 0.2%, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), household consumption continues to rise, confirmed the president of Abad. Neither the external crisis was able to impair the industry. Said one of the segments that suffered least was the health and beauty, which "remains good" in women and has a major consumer. "The basis is the class C, whose growth is maintained," he said.

The 32nd Annual Convention of the Wholesale Distributor will continue until Aug. 9, expected to attract over 33,000 visitors, generating business exceeding R$ 15 billion.
