Since its founding in 2004, MBR Company, a company participating in the Frutas do Brasil project — an internationalization program promoted by the Brazilian Association of Fruit and Derivatives Exporters (Abrafrutas) in partnership with the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) — has stood out for its dedication to exporting, importing and distributing food, with a special focus on fresh fruit. 

The company is headquartered in the city of São José dos Campos, in São Paulo, and works with a wide variety of products. Fig, melon, lime, mango, papaya, guava, orange, apple, dragon fruit, persimmon, atemoya and tomato are some of the fruits produced.

Over the years, MBR has also consolidated its global presence, providing a broad portfolio to large distributors and supermarket chains on all continents. Its products are exported to many countries around the world, including the European Union, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Canada and many other international destinations.

Following Brazil’s fame in the production and export of melons — in 2023, Brazil exported approximately 230 thousand tons of the fruit, generating revenue of around US$190 million —, MBR takes the delicacy to different corners of the globe. The fruit occupies a prominent place, offering a variety of types, including cantaloupe, yellow, galia and frogskin melon.

The United Arab Emirates stands out as the main destination for the melon exported by the company, which is distinguished by its year-round availability, guaranteed by air shipments during the off-season periods.

“At MBR Company, each fruit is carefully cultivated and sold with dedication, quality, traceability control and sustainability, aiming to meet the expectations of our customers around the world, from the farms to the shelves”, comments Renato Miralla, commercial director.

Committed to the environmental cause, the company adopts daily practices to minimize the impact, including the ecological disposal of paper and the search for sustainable packaging alternatives. Certified by GLOBALG.A.P CoC, IDB (Organics) and Frutas do Brasil, it demonstrates its commitment to quality standards and environmental responsibility.

MBR Company’s active participation in the Frutas do Brasil project highlights the company’s commitment to the highest standards of quality and sustainability in Brazilian fruit growing. By participating in the project, the company reaffirms the value of fruit production in Brazil, standing out as a fundamental part of this promising scenario.
