Brazilian furniture makers are intent on capturing a bigger share of the retail furniture market, thanks to an abundance of raw materials such as fast-growing pine and eucalyptus trees.
Presently, Italy is the world's top furniture producer with exports valued at $6 billion annually, followed by China at $2 billion.
Even though Brazil is likely to export $1 billion this year, the country's trade ministry believes Brazil will overtake both Italy and China by 2034.
The leading destinations for Brazilian furniture exports are the United States, Argentina, and France.
